The NIAID Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program (RNCP) is offering a grant to fund research on the effects of radiation exposure on the immune system and potential treatments for radiation-induced immune dysfunction. This initiative aims to address research gaps in understanding the mechanisms of injury and repair related to radiation-induced immune dysfunction, with a focus on developing medical countermeasures for radiation exposure. Projects may include developing animal models for immune-targeted radiation injuries, studying radiation impacts on the immune system, identifying immune-specific pathways affected by radiation, and exploring biomarkers and treatments to address immune-related radiation responses. Closing date for applications is August 24, 2021.

| Description: | Research funded by this initiative will examine the effects of radiation exposure on the immune system and explore possible treatments for radiation-induced immune dysfunction. Research gaps exist in understanding the mechanisms of injury and repair with regard to radiation-induced immune system dysfunction, and these gaps must be addressed to better develop MCMs for radiation exposure. Through this initiative, the NIAID Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program (RNCP) will support development of animal models for immune-targeted radiation injuries, studies to better understand radiation impacts on the immune system (including immune system-mediated multi-organ injury), identification of immune-specific pathways targeted by radiation, as well as biomarkers of exposure and mitigators/treatments that target immune-related radiation response pathways. |
