Governmental Affairs Committee
The mission of the Government Affairs Committee (GAC) is to advocate on behalf of the membership of the SRBR to increase federal government support for research on sleep and circadian rhythms and to promote circadian and sleep medicine for improving health, safety, performance, and productivity. The GAC works with members and staff of the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as program officers within various government agencies (e.g., NIH, DoD, CDC, DoT), to seek support for circadian and sleep research. The SRBR-GAC also works with other scientific societies (e.g., Sleep Research Society) and patient advocacy groups to achieve its mission.
