The fellowship acknowledges his research on circadian rhythms, including the effects of blue light on sleep cycles and the implications of circadian misalignment on metabolism and inflammation.
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute is inviting proposals for new studies and projects through 10 funding opportunities, with up to $100 million in opportunities focused on sleep health.
Early in my sleep tech career, I figured insomnia was a sleep disorder for the day shift to handle.
The funding opportunity concentrates on sleep health with an emphasis on high-need or underserved populations, such as shift workers and individuals with multiple chronic conditions.
