Opportunity Summary:
The Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program (RESEP) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), specifically administered within HRSA by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy. It is authorized under Section 417C of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and was developed in consultation with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Indian Health Service (IHS). The program focuses on communities affected by radiation exposure and is designed to improve public understanding of radiogenic diseases, promote early detection, and connect eligible individuals to appropriate medical follow up and support, including help with Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) claims.
At its core, RESEP funds organizations to build and operate a structured program that does four main things. First, it helps determine whether individuals meet basic eligibility criteria to apply for compensation under RECA, which is the federal law that provides compensation to certain people who developed specific illnesses after exposure to radiation connected to the US nuclear weapons program. Second, it supports clinical screening for cancers and other diseases known or suspected to be caused by radiation exposure (radiogenic diseases), with an emphasis on identifying problems early when treatment is more likely to be effective. Third, it requires grantees to ensure that people who screen positive or need additional evaluation can get further testing and or referrals for diagnosis and treatment, recognizing that screening alone is not sufficient unless it is tied to clear pathways for medical follow up. Fourth, it funds education and outreach activities that inform the public about radiogenic diseases and the value of detection, screening, prevention, and treatment, with the goal of increasing awareness and encouraging timely care seeking.
The opportunity places strong emphasis on performance, quality improvement, and collaboration. Applicants are expected to measure the effectiveness and quality of the services they provide and to continuously refine their approach to maximize impact. At the same time, HRSA makes it clear that collaboration with other organizations is encouraged, but grantees must maintain the integrity of the federally funded program, stay focused on the mission, and comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and program expectations. In practical terms, this means applicants should be ready to describe not only what services they will deliver, but also how they will track outcomes, maintain program standards, and coordinate with partners such as clinics, hospitals, public health entities, or community organizations without losing accountability for grant funded activities.
Eligibility is limited in two important ways: by organizational type and by location. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). In addition, applicants must be located in the high impact states named in the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (Public Law 106-245). Those states are Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. This geographic restriction reflects the program intent to focus resources where radiation exposure related health burdens and RECA eligible populations have historically been concentrated.
From a funding perspective, the announcement (HRSA-14-046) anticipated making 8 awards with an estimated total funding amount of 1,500,000 dollars. The listing is associated with CFDA number 93.257 (Grants for Education, Prevention, and Early Detection of Radiogenic Cancers and Diseases). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted in mid December 2013, with an application closing date of February 14, 2014, and it was later archived in April 2014. The notice lists award ceiling and floor as 0, which typically signals that applicants should rely on the full announcement details for award sizing or that amounts may vary without a preset cap in the summary field.
Overall, RESEP is built to support a full continuum of community facing work: public education about radiogenic health risks, structured screening activities, navigation into diagnostic and treatment services, and practical assistance with documentation for RECA compensation claims. The strongest proposals would be expected to spell out how they will identify and reach eligible populations, what screening services will be provided and under what protocols, how referrals and follow up will be handled, how education materials and outreach will be delivered, and how the program will monitor quality and results over time.
