  • Training Programs for Sleep Researchers
  • Public Health Education on Sleep Disorders
  • Coordination with Other Federal Agencies on Sleep Research

Last total enacted budget

The exact budget specifically for NCSDR isn't separately disclosed, but it is part of the NHLBI's budget, which for FY 2023 was approximately $3.7 billion.[5]

Leader

The leader of NCSDR holds the title **Director**.

Services provided

NCSDR provides services like funding for sleep research, coordination of sleep research across NIH, public health education on sleep health, and support for training programs to develop new researchers in the field of sleep disorders and circadian rhythms. It also plays a role in shaping national health policies related to sleep.[6]

Regulations overseen

NCSDR does not directly oversee regulations but influences policy by providing scientific evidence and guidelines that might affect regulations in health care and public health related to sleep disorders and circadian rhythms.
