Society for Research on Biological Rhythms
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR) is an international chronobiological research society with 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[1] and informal gatherings, and participates in peer-reviewed science and evidence-based policy making.[2] It is one of four prominent existing Chronology Research Societies[3][4] and one of the 14 societies that make up The World Federation of Societies for Chronobiology.[5] The organization is currently composed of 1,000 scientists and clinicians[6] dedicated to studying biological rhythms and their impact. The society has its own official journal, the Journal of Biological Rhythms.[7] Through its journal and meetings the society engages scientists of all backgrounds and nationalities. It advocates the need for funding in research areas in biological rhythms such as sleep and supports other research efforts such as the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation.
