White Papers

The SRS publishes white papers outlining the society’s position on important topics relevant to the field. These white papers offer recommendations on how to advance the field on those topics to all invested including scientists, educators, policymakers, patients, industry partners, funding agencies, other professional societies, and health professionals.

SRS white papers are usually developed through an interdisciplinary task force mandated to develop consensus regarding how to best accelerate the SRS’s mission of advancing science, education, and health in sleep.
