This department is offering the Centers for Medical Countermeasures against Radiation Consortium (U19) grant to establish a network of research centers aiming to develop medical solutions for radiation accidents. The grant supports research for creating medical products to diagnose, treat, and mitigate the consequences of radiation exposure after a radiological/nuclear event. The objectives include innovating radiation measurement techniques, monitoring tissue damage and recovery biomarkers, and designing therapies to minimize damage, expedite recovery, and improve survival rates post-exposure.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) on the Centers for Medical Countermeasures against Radiation Consortium (CMCRC) solicits applications to participate in a network of national research centers to develop effective and comprehensive medical countermeasures applicable to all subsets of the civilian population in the event of radiological or nuclear emergencies. Applications are sought that propose multidisciplinary basic and translational research to support the development of new medical products that will assess, diagnose, mitigate and/or treat the short- and long-term consequences of radiation exposure after a radiological/nuclear terrorist event or accidental exposure. The goals of this FOA are to: 1) produce new techniques and devices to measure radiation exposure in the human body; 2) follow biomarkers of tissue damage and recovery; and 3) develop novel therapies to minimize tissue damage, hasten tissue recovery, restore normal physiological function, and improve survival. |
