Description
This NIH R01 initiative supports development and testing of non-pharmacological interventions to promote sleep health, treat sleep disorders, and reduce sleep health disparities. It also supports research examining sleep as a modifiable factor for reducing disparities in other health outcomes. Interventions should address behavioral, social, environmental, or structural determinants and use conceptual models identifying mechanisms and pathways underlying disparities.
Research may address sleep duration, quality, efficiency, timing, regularity, or sleep/circadian disorders across the lifespan. Topics include workplace and school policies, home and neighborhood environments, sleep health awareness, CPAP adherence, health behavior change, and family- or provider-based strategies. Community engagement and hybrid effectiveness-implementation designs are encouraged. Clinical trials are optional, with institute-specific restrictions.
