<p>Dear ISL affiliates:</p>
<p>I am pleased to share a unique funding opportunity for researchers studying the intersection of sleep and neurodegeneration. The Alzheimer’s Association, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF), and CurePSP have launched the
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Sleep Contributions to Neurodegeneration (SCN) Grant Program</span></strong> to explore how sleep and related biology (e.g., circadian rhythms) contribute to or result from neurodegenerative diseases, including
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Lewy body diseases, and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>This program offers an exciting opportunity to advance our understanding of sleep’s role in neurodegenerative disorders. Please share this announcement with colleagues or collaborators who may be interested. Dr. Ravi Nagpal and a few others are interested
in pursuing this opportunity. If you are interested, please let me and Dr. Nagpal know. We’d be happy to help organize discussion meetings.
