CDC seeks input to shape a CFS strategic research plan
Acting on a recommendation from an external peer review of CDC’s CFS research program conducted in November 2008 and in preparation for presenting a draft 5-year strategic research plan to the CFS Advisory Committee in May 2009, CDC is seeking input from interested parties on issues that CDC will consider as it develops this research plan.
The objective of the five-year strategic plan is to conduct public health research leading to the control and prevention of medically unexplained chronically fatiguing illnesses, in particular CFS. CDC is seeking input on the goals and objectives of its CFS research program in five major categories:
- Studies of Defined Populations
- Provider-based Patient Registries
- In-hospital Clinical Studies
- Laboratory Studies
- Provider and Public Educational Intervention Research
Public input can be submitted in multiple ways
- Written comments may be sent by mail or email:
- Comments used in developing the May 2009 draft of the plan must be received at CDC by May 1, 2009. The draft will be presented to the CFS Advisory Committee at their May 27-28, 2009, meeting and afterwards made available at www.cdc.gov/cfs.
- General comments regarding the five-year CFS Research Plan must be received at CDC by June 30, 2009.
