Training Grant in Circadian and Sleep Research-Resubmission
Description: Project Narrative There is an urgent need to better understand the interactions between sleep and, circadian function and dysfunction and their implications for human health, including cardiometabolic health, as progress in this area is crucial for the development and implementation of preventive and therapeutic strategies to address the epidemics of chronic disease that represent a major threat to public health in America and elsewhere. The proposed Training Program in Circadian and Sleep Research is uniquely poised to offer the multidisciplinary training needed to prepare investigators in basic, translational and patient-oriented research to lead efforts to improve our understanding of the role of sleep and circadian integrated functions (and dysfunction) for health and disease, and to develop interventions to prevent the development, or reduce the severity and co-morbidities, of some of the most prevalent major chronic diseases of modern times. The results from the research carried out by the Trainees and their preceptors will become public information.
