[Proliferated] NIAID Awards $47 Million in New Effort to Develop Medical Countermeasures Against Radiological and Nuclear

NIAID Awards $47 Million in New Effort to Develop Medical Countermeasures Against Radiological and Nuclear: “The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has issued more than $47 million for grants, contracts and interagency agreements as part of a new National Institutes of Health (NIH) research program on Medical Countermeasures Against Radiological and Nuclear Threats. This program emphasizes product development and seeks to develop preventions and treatments for radiation sickness following a terrorist attack….

Eight universities or research institutes have received grants to establish Centers for Medical Countermeasures Against Radiation. These centers will focus on basic and applied research to develop new products for measuring radiation exposure, to protect against exposure and to minimize and treat the effects of exposure to a wide range of radioactive compounds.”

Scientific research funding provides a prudently diversified model in a proliferated world.
