Description
This grant supports early career investigators in sleep and circadian science who have previously submitted, but not received, a mentored federal career development grant (e.g., NIH K-series, VA CDA). The funding is intended as a bridge to enable researchers to address reviewer feedback, strengthen their proposals, and resubmit for federal funding. Projects must be mentored and focused on significant unanswered questions in sleep, circadian science, sleep disorders, or sleep health. Recipients are expected to work closely with experienced mentors and deliver a revised application as a key outcome.
