Dear SRS Members,
I am pleased to announce the fifth cycle for the 2009 Gillin and Weitzman grants programs. The application deadline for these grants programs is December 1, 2008.
We are very proud of our Gillin and Weitzman grant winners for 2008.
The SRSF congratulates this class of grant awardees:
2008 J. Christian Gillin, MD Research Grant
Nancy Johnston, DVM
Institution: Southern Illinois University School of Medicine
Project Title:Sleep fragmentation, the metabolic syndrome, and diabetes in mice
Anna Kalinchuk, PhD
Institution: Harvard Medical School
Project Title:Nitric oxide-mediated mechanisms of sleep regulation: spatial and temporal aspects
Mirjam Munch, PhD
Institution: Harvard Medical School
Project Title:Circadian light effects and fMRI - a pilot study
Yuka Sasaki, PhD
Institution: Harvard Medical School
Project Title:MRI-constrained spectral imaging of spontaneous neuromagnetic activity during sleep in human cortex associated with visual learning
2008 Sleep Fellowship Grant
Natalia Tulina, PhD
Institution: University of Pennsylvania
Project Title: Function of sleep in the regulation of stem cell activity
Two grants are now offered to members of the SRS: the J. Christian Gillin, M.D. Research Grant, the Elliott D. Weitzman, M.D. Research Grant and our new Sleep Fellowship Grant Program.
- The SRSF J. Christian Gillin, M.D. Research Grant is intended to support beginning investigators in sleepresearch for the purpose of gathering pilot data to be used for future grant applications. One-year grants will be funded with each in the amount of up to $20,000.
- The SRSF Elliott D. Weitzman, M.D. Research Grant is intended for researchers to gather additional pilot data for NIH or other federal grants that are scored but not funded (the SRS assumes that such grants have been reviewed by NIH). Grants that will be considered are those that have a sound plan but were noted for inadequate preliminary data or evidence of feasibility. One-year grants will be funded with each in the amount of up to $20,000.
Sincerely,
Eric A. Nofzinger, MD
President
