This is a biomedical/clinical sleep-health program, which is outside IPPRA’s core social-behavioral risk, warning, and public perception portfolio. The team could potentially contribute only peripherally on public-health communication or acceptance aspects, but it is not the kind of grant they would pursue with a PI from this roster.
