FYI -



DOE has recently released this notice



Title: Low Dose Radiation Research Program - Basic Research Sponsor: United 

States Department of Energy (DOE)



Office of Science Sponsor Type: Federal, U.S. Deadline: April 16, 2002 

Amount Note: It is anticipated that up to $2,500,000 will be available from 

DOE/OBER for new grant awards during Fiscal Year 2002, contingent upon the 

availability of funds. Multiple year funding of grant awards is expected, 

and is also contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds, 

progress of the research, and continuing program need. Eligibility: 

Applicants are encouraged to collaborate with researchers in other 

institutions, such as universities, industry, non-profit organizations, 

federal laboratories and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers 

(FFRDCs), including the DOE National Laboratories, where appropriate, and 

to incorporate cost sharing and/or consortia wherever feasible. Citizenship 

or Residency:

United States



Activity Location:

United States



Requirements: Small Business

Academic Institution or Government or Nonprofit

Ph.D./M.D./Other Professional 





Abstract: The Office of Biological and 

Environmental Research (OBER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE) and the Office of Biological and Physical 

Research (OBPR), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), 

hereby announce their interest in receiving grant applications for research 

that supports the DOE/OBER Low Dose Radiation Research Program, and that 

may include complementary research of direct interest to the NASA/OBPR 

Space Radiation Health Program that is of sufficient scientific merit to 

qualify for partial NASA support.



These Programs use modern molecular tools to develop a better scientific 

basis for understanding exposures and risks to humans from low dose and low 

fluence radiation. Research areas of particular programmatic interest include



- endogenous oxidative damage versus low dose radiation- induced damage,

- radio-adaptive responses,

- bystander effects, and

- individual genetic susceptibility to low dose radiation exposure.
