[edit]The Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR) is a learned society and professional association headquartered in the United States created to advance the interests of chronobiology in academia, industry, education, and research. Formed in 1986, the society has around 1,000 members, and runs the associated academic journal, the Journal of Biological Rhythms.[1] In addition to communicating with academic and public audiences on matters related to chronobiology, the society seeks to foster interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and advocates for the need for funding and research in biological rhythms to guide the development of related policies.
Organisation
[edit]The society holds three key goals:
- to promote the advancement and dissemination of basic and applied research in all aspects of biological rhythms.
- to enhance the education and training of students and researchers in the field.
- to foster interdisciplinary communication and an international exchange of ideas.
The society holds biennial meetings[2] and informal gatherings, and participates in peer-reviewed science and evidence-based policy making.[3] It is one of four prominent existing Chronology Research Societies[4][5] and one of the 14 societies that make up The World Federation of Societies for Chronobiology.[6] Through its journal, the Journal of Biological Rhythms, and meetings, the society engages scientists of all backgrounds and nationalities. It advocates the need for funding in research areas in biological rhythms and supports other research efforts such as the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation.
