Sleep researcher earns national recognition

Jonathan Wisor, an assistant professor with WWAMI Spokane, was selected by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to participate in the Young Faculty Award program.
 
Each year, the program provides funding, mentoring and industry and Department of Defense contacts to rising research stars in junior faculty positions to develop their research ideas in the context of Department of Defense needs.
 
Wisor is one of 33 faculty members selected nationwide. He received the honor in response to his research proposal, “Local Sleep in the Cerebral Cortex: a Tool for Sustained Operations.”
