Description
This grant provides supplemental funding to established sleep and circadian science investigators to support mentored research training for promising students, post-doctoral fellows, and clinical fellows who have experienced barriers to accessing research or professional development opportunities. The goal is to foster meaningful research experiences, encourage retention in the field, and develop the research capabilities of candidates at various stages of training. A strong emphasis is placed on mentorship, with the principal investigator required to guide the candidate throughout the research project. Projects should address important unanswered questions in sleep and circadian science and provide candidates with significant research experience to stimulate or retain their interest in sleep research careers.
