Description
This grant offers critical bridge funding to established mid-career and senior investigators working in sleep and circadian science who are preparing to resubmit a previously unfunded, investigator-initiated, multi-year federal grant application. Its primary goal is to provide the time and resources necessary for applicants to address reviewer critiques and strengthen their proposals for successful resubmission. Eligible projects must address significant unanswered scientific questions related to sleep, sleep disorders, or sleep health. Expected outcomes include resubmission of the revised grant, publication of research findings, and dissemination of results at professional meetings.
