Learning
Education and mentorship
Support discussion of research methods, clinical concepts and evidence, with opportunities for investigators at different stages of their careers.
The Foundation
An educational mission.
A scientific purpose.
The Sleep Epidemiology Foundation is a nonprofit public benefit organization dedicated to education, mentorship, research development and scientific exchange in sleep and circadian epidemiology.
Mission
Strengthening a field through shared knowledge.
The Foundation supports the people and activities that advance sleep epidemiology: scientific meetings, educational discussions, mentorship and collaboration across clinical and population research.
Its mission connects the study of sleep and circadian rhythms with broader questions about health, functioning and disease over time. It serves investigators, clinicians, trainees and public health professionals who share an interest in rigorous, clinically meaningful research.
Who we serve
- Investigators and research groups
- Students, fellows and early-career researchers
- Clinicians and public health professionals
- Institutions and collaborators in sleep and circadian science
Commitments
Education, continuity and scientific rigor.
Exchange
Sustained scientific dialogue
Bring disciplines and institutions into conversation through symposia, educational activity and research-oriented exchange.
Development
Research and collaboration
Encourage study questions, methods and partnerships that address the needs of population-based sleep and circadian research.
Institutional purpose
Development grounded in useful work.
The Foundation’s programs develop around specific educational and scientific needs. New initiatives are considered in relation to their academic value, the investigators involved and the resources required to sustain them.
Its international perspective reflects the importance of comparing evidence across populations and sharing experience across health systems, disciplines and regions.
