Every year, the Sleep Research Lab directs a 3-month academic-research Summer Apprenticeship, funded by a grant from the NIMH. During this intensive program, students from Brown and other universities receive instruction in human sleep and circadian rhythms and learn many techniques of behavioral sciences research. In 2001, this program was named for one of its long-time supporters and a major leader in US sleep research; it is now known as the William C. Dement Summer Sleep and Chronobiology Summer Research Apprenticeship. more

Research papers of interest to ongoing projects are scrutinized at these sessions open to students and scientists in sleep and circadian rhythms research. Those interested in participating should contact M. Elliott (421-9440) to be placed on the Journal Club email list. more
