Abstract
Recognizing that sleep disorders are a major public health concern, Congress established the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research (NCSDR) in 1993. The stated goals were to enhance sleep disorders awareness, facilitate government-wide coordination of sleep research and training, and develop integrative multidisciplinary research and education programs to fill gaps in existing knowledge. The NCSDR is an office within the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The NCSDR coordinates sleep-related interactions within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutes and Centers involved in sleep-related research, and with other federal agencies with interest in sleep, sleep disorders and associated research and education activities. The NCSDR also partners with non-government organizations in a wide range of professional and community education and public health activities. The NCSDR web site (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/sleep) describes the multiplicity of programs in which NCSDR is actively engaged. These programs are briefly reviewed in the sections to follow.
