The SRS Diversity Membership Scholarship 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. The SRS Diversity Membership Scholarship recipients will also be eligible for other SRS trainee awards, including the SRS Diversity Travel Award, the SRS Trainee Merit Award or the SRSF Undergraduate Trainee Travel Scholarship, if applicable.
