Since our inception in 2012, Open Medicine Foundation (OMF) has raised over $30 million to fund open and collaborative research and improve health care for millions suffering from chronic, complex diseases such as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Long COVID, Post-Treatment Lyme Disease, and Fibromyalgia. We have facilitated and funded the establishment of five research centers across the globe dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and ultimately preventing these related chronic, complex diseases.
Open Medicine Foundation is a US-based global nonprofit, with an affiliate organization in Canada (OMF Canada) and a foreign branch in Australia (OMF Australia Ltd). OMF Canada received Charity Status from the Canada Revenue Agency on June 6, 2019. We launched our relationship with the Collaborative Research Center at CHU Sainte-Justine /Université de Montréal on December 11, 2019.
Our 19 member Scientific Advisory Board is world renowned and includes two Nobel laureates and six National Academy of Sciences members.
