The Solve ME/CFS Initiative (SMCI) - formerly Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) Association of America - is an American not-for-profit association dedicated to ending Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). SMCI was founded in 1987 and is the longest standing organization serving ME/CFS patients and researchers. Their mission is to make ME/CFS understood, diagnosable and treatable. They plan to accomplish this by stimulating participatory research aimed at the early detection, objective diagnosis and effective treatment of ME/CFS through expanded public, private and commercial investments.
The Solve ME/CFS Initiative (SMCI) managed a $6 million public awareness campaign sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2004–2009, with the public phase launched in 2006.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
