Center for
High-Throughput
Minimally-Invasive Radiation Biodosimetry
Pilot Projects
We provide pilot project funding relating to high-throughput minimally-invasive radiation biodosimetry. The projects are part of a joint NIH-funded program involving Columbia University, Georgetown University, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Translational Genomics Research Institute, New York University, and University of Bern.
We currently support biodosimetry projects using cytogenetic, gene expression, and metabolomic endpoints. Funded pilots are biodosimetry-oriented projects, which either complement these areas or open up new research avenues. The projects can be biologically- or physically-based, but must ultimately be directed towards practical high-throughput radiation biodosimetry or dosimetry, after external photon or neutron exposure, or internal radiation exposure. Innovative proposals for testing new concepts are encouraged. Previous years' pilot projects are described below:
Each pilot project is of limited duration (up to two years) and of limited budget (up to $75,000 direct costs/year/project). The maximum individual award is $100K per year total costs.
The application deadline has passed. We anticipate soliciting another round of pilot project proposals in late summer 2011.
