Donor Name: Centers for Disease Control – NCEH
State: All States
County: All Counties
U.S. Territories: Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianna Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 05/26/2023
Size of the Grant: $110,000
Grant Duration: 5 years
Details:
This project will be executed using a multi-faceted approach that includes establishing joint working groups assigned to address specific issues, participating in committee and annual meetings to present and discuss issues of mutual interest, sharing information on new developments in the various areas of radiation protection as well as sharing challenges and seeking recommendations through collaboration with other state and local radiation subject matter expertise.
The NOFO will support the development of guidance, recommendations, suggested state regulations, and exchange of information in an effort to increase the existing tools, knowledge, and capabilities for radiological health staff throughout the country. Because many state radiation control programs have very limited resources to tackle the public health issues that impact their communities, it is anticipated that this funding will leverage and help increase their collective capabilities to assure radiation protection of the public and workers.
Outcomes
The outcomes recipients are expected to achieve by the end of the period of performance are:
- Improved content delivery of population monitoring training modules.
