The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) is establishing eleven new Collaborative Research Centres (CRC) to promote world-class research at universities. This was announced by the relevant Grants Committee, which met by video conference due to the coronavirus pandemic. The new CRCs will initially receive a total of approximately €138 million over a period of four years from 1 July 2021 onwards. This includes a 22-percent programme allowance for indirect project-related costs. Seven of the new consortia are CRC/Transregios (TRR) distributed across multiple applicant universities.
As well as the eleven new groups, the Grants Committee agreed to extend the funding of another 27 CRCs for an additional funding period, including four CRC/Transregios. Collaborative Research Centres allow researchers to tackle innovative, challenging and long-term research projects within the network and should enable institutional priority area development and struc

The term sluggish cognitive tempo was first coined in the 1980s when ADHD researchers were debating whether the subtypes of the behavioral disorder primarily hyperactive and impulsive, and primarily inattentive were distinct disorders on their own.
The inattentive subtype is characterized predominately by inattention and distractibility without hyperactivity, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Some researchers argued that certain characteristics related to the subtype, like drowsiness, daydreaming and fatigue, were different from ADHD symptoms.
Those symptoms later became associated with sluggish cognitive tempo. Currently, there is no approved drug to treat these symptoms. Nutritional supplements, mental exercises and lifestyle changes are often recommended to help manage them.

Insufficient sleep and sleep problems are very common in children and teens with ADHD. In fact, half of parents of children with ADHD say that their child has moderate or severe problems getting enough rest. In adolescence, sleep can become more disrupted as biological changes affect circadian function and teens take more control of their sleep habits and schedule.
Insufficient or poor sleep is linked to daytime impairments in children with ADHD: severe inattention, depression, and poorer quality of life and daily functioning. Thankfully, we now have research to help parents better understand the link between ADHD and sleep, and to tap into effective treatments.
