SRS Diversity Membership Initiative and Award

The application period for 2024 is now closed. The next cycle will open in September 2025.

The SRS values and benefits from the inclusion of scientists and researchers from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and countries, all sharing a common interest in sleep and circadian rhythms. The SRS Diversity Membership Initiative aims to increase the diversity of our membership and, therefore, the diversity in attendance at the SLEEP meeting. Researchers with disabilities or who identify as coming from backgrounds underrepresented in sleep and circadian rhythms research regardless of nationality are strongly encouraged to apply. (high school students, undergraduate students, graduate students, medical students, medical residents, fellows, postdoctoral fellows). The recipients of the SRS Diversity Membership Award also will be eligible for other SRS trainee awards including the SRS Diversity Travel Award, the SRS Trainee Merit Award (or SRS Undergraduate Trainee Merit Award, if applicable).

This award will cover two years of membership in the SRS.

This award cycle is now closed.
