| ADVOCACY: The Blue Ribbon Foundation produced "Forgotten Plague - ME and the Future of Medicine." It is a 69-minute film hailed as a "Must See Documentary" by the Huffington Post. Directed by Emmy Award winner Nicole Castillo and Ryan Prior, the film tells the story of an afflicted journalist who embarks on a quest to discover why the Centers for Disease Control and medical system have neglected his disease and left millions sidelined from life. Following its premiere at Hollywood's Chinese Theater, the film garnered sold out screenings in theaters throughout the United States. In December 2015 it will be available on DVD, iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon Instant Video. The worldwide emotional response to a series of articles Prior wrote for USA Today in 2012 inspired him to tackle the project. Castillo and Prior, both 26, embarked on the ambitious nationwide production in 2013, shortly after graduating from the University of Georgia. "Forgotten Plague" is an investigation into myalgic encephalomyelitis, commonly called chronic fatigue syndrome (or ME/CFS), a disease that Stanford geneticist Ron Davis has called, "One of the last major diseases that we know nothing about." ME/CFS organizations associations, support groups, and activists will show the film to raise awareness and to generate donations for their local groups for programs associated with ME/CFS. The Blue Ribbon Foundation will promote the film for use in medical continuing education programs as well as put it in the hands of prominent members of Congress and state legislatures. | $0 | $61,673 |
| MEDICAL SCHOOL FELLOWSHIPS: The Blue Ribbon Foundation funded fellowships for three second-year medical school students doing ME/CFS research. Hosted by the Institute for Neuro Immune Medicine at Nova Southeastern University near Ft Lauderdale, FL, the three fellows worked directly with world-renowned ME/CFS researchers. This fellowship opportunity led the Dean of the Medical School at Nova Southeastern University to incorporate ME/CFS into their curriculum. Donors have pledged funds to The Blue Ribbon Foundation that will support similar fellowships in the summer of 2016 at the Open Medicine Institute in Mountain View, CA. In addition to advancing research on ME/CFS, these fellowships are critical for training the next generation of medical professionals about ME/CFS. A recent study at DePaul University found that 96% of medical schools do not include ME/CFS in their curriculum. Partnering with medical schools to offer their students meaningful fellowships will lead medical schools to incorporate the latest knowledge about ME/CFS into their curriculum. | $8,000 | $0 |
