Training and Dissemination
Training, outreach and public engagement are important aspects of the SCNi. To achieve this we aim to:
- establish and develop a recruitment database and web-based resources. These can serve as portals for recruitment (and on-line testing) of subjects interested in participating in the research programs, but also for education and information about circadian neuroscience and sleep;
- develop and disseminate psychoeducational interventions in these areas, for self- or clinician-facilitated delivery to vulnerable groups and patients;
- enhance public engagement and knowledge about sleep and circadian disturbances, their health implications, their treatment and prevention;
- provide a centre and focus for clinical training and translation of advances in sleep and circadian neuroscience, with particular regard to psychiatric disorders.
