Radiation Protection of the Public as Practiced by the State and Local Radiation Programs: The purpose of this NOFO is to provide a forum that should make it possible for state and federal agencies to work together and apply their limited resources to address radiological health issues of mutual interest. This project will be accomplished by a multi-faceted approach that includes joint working groups assigned to specific issues, participation at annual meetings for presentations and discussion of issues of mutual interest, new developments in the field, upcoming challenges and recommendations, along with training and workshops for keeping state and federal regulatory personnel informed and educated on new technologies, issues, and regulatory procedures. The goal of the guidance, recommendations, suggested regulations, and exchange of information is to increase the available tools, knowledge, and capabilities for radiological health staff throughout the country. As a result of the increased capability to assure radiation protection, a reduction in the risk of illness and deaths associated with unnecessary radiation exposure will occur.
