2:21 PM http://debategraph.org/Stream.aspx?nid=310075&vt=bubble&dc=focus Where we left last week had to do with me contacting CarlS to see about his interest in engagement in this project. At one time, he mentioned interest. AH: purpose of paper is funding. AH: what are we funding, how are we defining it? Funding: NIH, NSF, VA, RWJF, SBIRs, and Crowdfunding Sides of work: background research, platform dev, clinical trials Targets: PTS, CFS -- might vary according to funding... AH: asking JP to explore funding interest in CFS google query "cfs research funding" gets hits http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-12-033.html http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-12-032.html working group: http://orwh.od.nih.gov/research/me-cfs/ http://www.nidalliance.org/news/landmark-grant-for-me-cfs-research-over-800000.html http://weill.cornell.edu/news/releases/wcmc/wcmc_2013/03_07_13.shtml http://www.cfids.org/special/ http://www.cfids.org/default.asp http://solvecfs.org/association-launches-first-funded-cfs-research-network/ http://solvecfs.org/ links with IOM: http://pandoraorg.net/IoM_Activities.html http://www.ncf-net.org/ The ncf-net.org links to interesting research papers AH: socio-politics of what we propose -- e.g. talk in terms of gulf war syndrome instead of CFS at VA? http://carrot2.sf.net/ http://project.carrot2.org/ AH:scope of the project AH: gamify what and on a basis of what funding? JP: funding for the dev of the platform is the inner reason and scope; that it entails games which serve therapeutic purposes is like icing on the cake. AH: what's the easiest source of funding to go after? AH: use AH as potential clinical application for our platform to RWJF JP: interesting idea. JP: which part of our platform is to be funded in that clinical setting? JP; what would be the sequence of events to propose? (where are we now in that sequence?) Your camera is off. |
