=== PACE trial apology === In August 2018, a considerable time after the publication of the full [[PACE trial]] data and months after the publication of the reanalysis of the data, Action for ME's CEO published an apology for their role in the PACE trial and their "de facto" endorsement of [[graded exercise therapy]] and [[cognitive behavioral therapy]]. The apology has since been removed from the website.<ref name="PACE-apology">{{Cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180829192602/https://www.actionforme.org.uk/news/pace-trial-and-behavioural-treatments-for-me/|archive-date=2018-08-29 | title = PACE Trial and Behavioural Treatments for ME | website = Action for ME|url-status=dead | date = Aug 2018 | url = https://www.actionforme.org.uk/news/pace-trial-and-behavioural-treatments-for-me/}}</ref> {{Quote box|By having a role on the Steering Committee and Management Group, there was a de facto endorsement of the use of Β£5m of research funding to focus on behavioural treatments. Neither I nor the current Board of Trustees would agree to do this now, as reflected by our current research strategy, the focus of which is collaborative biomedical research. I am sorry that the charity did not advocate for this considerable level of funding to be invested in biomedical research instead. It was never our intention to contribute to any stigma or misunderstanding about the illness and I sincerely apologise to those who feel that, in not speaking out sooner and more strongly, we have caused harm. | title = Action for ME and the PACE Trial|source=[[Sonya Chowdhury]], Action for ME Chief Executive, Aug 2018<ref name="PACE-apology" />}}
