Grant Description: The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Human Research Program (HRP), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), hereby announce their interest in receiving grant applications for new research to develop a better scientific basis for understanding risks to humans from exposures to low doses or low fluences of ionizing radiation. Research applications must primarily support the needs of the DOE/BER Low Dose Radiation Research Program; applications may also include complementary research of direct interest to the NASA/HRP Space Radiation Project of sufficient scientific merit to qualify for partial NASA support. Research must focus on elucidating molecular mechanisms and pathways involved in normal radiobiological responses to low dose exposure, and must have the potential to ultimately increase understanding of health outcomes from radiation exposures that are at or near current workplace exposure limits. New research that focuses on molecular and cellular responses within tissue- and higher levels of biological organization will receive higher priority. Experimental research of particular interest to this call includes radio-adaptive responses; systems genetics of inter-individual variation; low dose and/or low dose-rate effects on: a) proteomic responses, b) the immune system, b) epigenetic regulation, and c) molecular and cellular hallmarks of aging. The Programs are also interested in funding new mathematical/risk modeling projects that will incorporate the latest low dose and low dose-rate biological research into mechanism-based models of tissue function. Scientists working in rapidly developing areas of biological sciences not necessarily associated with the study of radiation are also encouraged to consider the contributions that their field can make. Please review the Supplementary Information sections of the FOA for further discussion of DOE and NNSA programmatic needs.
