N1 - Funding Information:
Conflict of Interest: Constance H. Fung has grant funding supported by the NIA, NIH (K23AG045937) and The Beeson Career Development in Aging Research Award Program (supported by NIA, AFAR, John A. Hartford Foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies). The grant focuses on one of the research aims proposed in the paper, “What are the optimal methods of developing and implementing an individualized approach to sleep/CR treatment, accounting for personal preferences and physiological differences in risk factor profiles among individuals?” She has received an honorarium to serve as a National Sleep Foundation expert panel on sleep quality, including sleep quality in older adults. The NIA funded this conference (NIA 5U13AG039151–02). Additional funding for the conference was provided by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, Pfizer, and Philips Respironics. We thank Marie A. Bernard, PhD, Basil Eldadah, MD, PhD, Nancy Lundebjerg, MPA, Miroslaw Mackiewicz, PhD, and all conference participants. We appreciate the excellent administrative support provided by Anna Mikhailovich and Alanna Goldstein, MPH, and the detailed program evaluation provided by Julie Robison, PhD. Views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the NIH or other affiliated organizations. Author Contributions: All authors contributed to this paper. Sponsor's Role: None.

N2 - The American Geriatrics Society, with support from the National Institute on Aging and other funders, held its eighth Bedside-to-Bench research conference, entitled “Sleep, Circadian Rhythms, and Aging: New Avenues for Improving Brain Health, Physical Health and Functioning,” October 4 to 6, 2015, in Bethesda, Maryland. Part of a conference series addressing three common geriatric syndromes—delirium, sleep and circadian rhythm (SCR) disturbance, and voiding dysfunction—the series highlighted relationships and pertinent clinical and pathophysiological commonalities between these three geriatric syndromes. The conference provided a forum for discussing current sleep, circadian rhythm, and aging research; identifying gaps in knowledge; and developing a research agenda to inform future investigative efforts. The conference also promoted networking among developing researchers, leaders in the field of SCR and aging, and National Institutes of Health program personnel.
