What is ICanCME?
The Interdisciplinary Canadian Collaborative Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ICanCME) Research Network is a national research network of researchers, clinicians, and patient partners working to advance the understanding of ME and its biomedical research.
The ICanCME Research Network was established in September 2019 through a Catalyst Network grant funded by the Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis (IMHA) of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
Governed by an Executive Committee, a Steering Committee, and an International Scientific and Medical Advisory Board, our mission is to be the primary resource for initiating, supporting and sustaining innovative and collaborative ME research designed to benefit the health of all Canadians living with ME and those at risk of developing ME.
Network membership is free to those interested, and members are individuals actively involved in the ME community and interested in contributing towards the creation of new scientific knowledge and closing the gap between knowledge and practice.
