Neuropsychiatric disorders in children, psychiatric disorders, and substance use disorders rank fifth through seventh place, respectively, on the priority list of the National Sleep Disorders Research Plan, Carl Hunt, M.D., director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research (NCSDR), Bethesda, Md., told attendees at the National Sleep Foundation forum.
Top priorities detailed in the plan, issued in 2003, include research on sleep duration, the basic science of sleep and waking, altered sleep and chronic disease, and sleep and aging.
Housed in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, NCSDR advocates for sleep research, coordinates sleep programs in the NIH's 12 institutes and centers, and works with other federal agencies and public organizations. Researchers in sleep and biological rhythms generated grants of about $202 million in the NIH's $28.65 billion 2005 Fiscal budget.
The National Institute of Mental Health is the lead institute for a state-of-the-science consensus conference, Manifestations and Management of Chronic Insomnia in Adults, held June 13 to 15 at the NIH, Hunt said. Panelists reviewed the definition, diagnosis, and consequences of chronic insomnia and explored treatments and evidence for their safety and efficacy.
The Institute of Medicine has launched a yearlong study of the public health significance of sleep health, sleep loss, and sleep disorders and needs for research, education, and training in sleep medicine (see page 21).
