Tender Description
Expressions of interest are open for a member to join the NHMRC to help develop guidelines for managing Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS).
Description
The Department of Health and Aged Care has commissioned the National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) to develop guidelines for the management of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis /Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS).
The focus of the new guidelines will be the appropriate diagnosis and management of ME/CFS in the primary care setting. These guidelines will be Australia’s first since the 2002 guidelines developed by the RACP working group.
The Terms of Reference are yet to be finalised. It's anticipated that the term of appointment will be approximately 3 years, starting from early to mid-2025;
- meetings will be held online only, with approximately 8 meetings across the 3-year term
- appointed members will be paid sitting fees based on the number of hours per meeting
Criteria
The NHMRC has contacted the College advising that they will be establishing a Guideline Development Group and have requested that the College nominate members with expertise in:
- management of ME/CFS in children
- management of ME/CFS in adults
- structured rehabilitation relevant to ME/CFS
- other experience with management relevant to ME/CFS (specify in your application)
The NHMRC will undertake their own selection process to determine membership of the Guideline Development Group.
Nominations are for individual appointment to the Guideline Development Group, with members acting in an expert capacity, not as a representative of the RACP or any RACP group.
