ME/CFS Common Data Element (CDE) Project[edit | edit source]
Dr Friedberg serves on both the Baseline/Covariate Working Group and the Fatigue Working Group of the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Common Data Element (CDE) Project sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.[5] The Baseline/Covariate Working Group reviewed data collection instruments widely used by investigators in the ME/CFS field, and either recommended their use unchanged or (more often) proposed some modifications.[6] The Fatigue Working Group discussed types of fatigue and reviewed existing fatigue instruments widely used by investigators in the ME/CFS field.[7]

- 23 Jun 2016, Getting to the heart of chronic fatigue syndrome Fred Friedberg was awarded a $1.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to research if "determine if heart rate fluctuations in combination with certain daily activity patterns can be used to predict or prevent relapse in people with CFS." The study data will be gathered from wearable mobile heart devices, participants' symptoms and activity diaries, and phone interviews from a psychiatric nurse.
