Abstract: Data and specimen-sharing tools offer new discovery opportunities for ME/CFS researchers Within the field of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) research, two online tools: mapMECFS (Mathur and Carnes, 2021) and searchMECFS play a crucial role in advancing the understanding of ME/CFS by encouraging researchers to share and use data and biospecimens that are stored in centralized and easily accessible data portals. mapMECFS and searchMECFS are hosted by RTI International and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). mapMECFS is the largest interactive portal and repository for ME/CFS data. It offers researchers from diverse disciplines a platform to share and integrate data from their ME/CFS research studies. searchMECFS is an interactive search tool that allows researchers to identify and request available biospecimens to conduct novel experiments.
