Opportunity Summary:

The Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program (RESEP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to support health care organizations in improving both the knowledge base and the health status of people harmed by radiation exposure tied to specific historical activities. The program focuses on individuals adversely affected by the mining, milling, or transportation of uranium, as well as those impacted by nuclear weapons testing conducted for the United States weapons arsenal. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at strengthening screening, education, prevention, and early detection efforts for radiogenic cancers and other radiation-related diseases, helping communities that experienced these exposures better understand their risks and access appropriate health-related services.

This opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-09-223, titled "Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program." It uses a grant funding instrument and falls under the health activity category. The associated CFDA program number is 93.257, described as "Grants for Education, Prevention, and Early Detection of Radiogenic Cancers and Diseases." HRSA anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $224,766. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which means applicants were not expected to contribute a specific non-federal financial match as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility was intentionally narrow and based on a statutory preference tied to the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), Public Law 106-245. Only health care organizations located in RECA-designated "high impact" states were eligible to apply. For this specific competition, eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations, explicitly including faith-based and community-based organizations, located in one of three states: Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. The limited eligibility reflects the program's intent to concentrate resources in areas with documented, significant impact from uranium industry activities and nuclear testing-related exposure pathways.

In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on April 30, 2009, with the original and final closing date set for June 1, 2009, and it was later archived on July 14, 2009. Applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement were directed to HRSA's call center support via CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772 (also referenced as 877-Go4-HRSA).
