Data management for efficient data collection as well as data mining and data sharing will be addressed in the data management and coordinating center (DMCC), as well as coordination of tools to identify and access available ME/CFS biospecimens. The ME/CFS CRCs will establish a network to facilitate research through: 1) collaborative basic and/or clinical research on ME/CFS; 2) provide and maintain tools for data and biospecimen sharing; 3) access to information related to ME/CFS for basic and clinical researchers, academic and practicing physicians, healthcare professionals, patients, and the lay public; and 4) facilitation of community outreach and engagement in the research activities.
