Description
The Sleep Research Society Foundation (SRSF) Small Research Grant is designed to provide seed funding for trainees and early career investigators in the field of sleep and circadian research. The grant aims to support those who lack substantial institutional resources or a sustained record of external funding, helping them launch new studies, collect pilot data, or complete preliminary work necessary for future career development grants. Funds may be used for participant compensation, equipment, supplies, lab tests, and research assistant wages, but not for salary or conference travel. This opportunity is ideal for those at the undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, or early faculty levels seeking to build a foundation for a research career in sleep science.
