SC 1-21: Multiplatform National Approach for Providing Guidance on Integrating Basic Science and Epidemiological Studies on Low-Dose Radiation Biological and Health Effects

Scientific Committee 1-21 will prepare a commentary on critical research needs for evaluation of low-dose radiation biological and health effects. The focus of the commentary will be on the integration of results of basic science studies, including biomarkers of cancer and other diseases, with epidemiological studies on health effects of low-dose radiation exposures.

In September and October 2012, the Co-Chairs, Staff Consultant, and NCRP President held planning teleconferences with webinar support to map out the next steps. The first Committee meeting was held on November 12, 2012. The Committee discussed perspectives on integrating basic biology and epidemiology and developed an initial outline for the report. Committee members volunteered for writing assignments best suited to their expertise.

A teleconference in January 2013 reviewed progress and identified gaps. A second teleconference is planned for April 29, 2013 to assess current status, identify any additional input required, and discuss issues that have arisen. A meeting of the Committee is planned for August 12-13, 2013 in Bethesda, Maryland.

NCRP is grateful to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for financial support for this work.
