About us

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest Sleep and Circadian Network (PNW-SCN), a collaborative initiative established in 2023 to connect sleep and circadian researchers and key stakeholders across the region. We hope the PNW-SCN serves as a forum for sharing knowledge, building collaborations across institutions, and seeking new multi-site funding opportunities.

The formation of the PNW-SCN and 2024 inaugural meeting are supported by a generous grant of seed funds from the Oregon State University Research Advancement Academy and the Valley Foundation.

The PNW-SCN Steering Committee oversees strategic planning and network activities, including the inaugural network meeting.
