Grants & Awards

The SRS recognizes excellence in sleep research by providing funding and recognition. Each of the SRS awards is presented at SLEEP, the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies. Members can nominate their colleagues for each of the awards. For research funding opportunities, the Sleep Research Society's foundation, the SRSF, offers grants to sleep researchers.
