This announcement solicits applications for the Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program. This grant program was developed in consultation with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Indian Health Service (IHS). Within HRSA, the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) administers the program, hereinafter referred to as the Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program (RESEP). The purpose of this program is to: develop education programs in line with RESEP goals; disseminate information on radiogenic diseases and the importance of early detection; screen eligible individuals for cancer and other radiogenic diseases; provide appropriate referrals for medical treatment; and facilitate documentation of Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) claims. While all the aforementioned are goals and required components of RESEP, a priority should be to assist and successfully file new RECA claims. In program year 2015, RESEP clinics contributed to filing an average of 35 successful RECA claims per clinic.
