The Department of Health invites applications to conduct radiation protection research.
There are four research priority areas: studies to test the linear no threshold (LNT) hypothesis at low (<100mSv) doses; how radiation from medical exposures contributes to future cancer risk, particularly in radiosensitive groups; non-cancer effects from ionising and non-ionising radiation exposures; health effects of internal and external radiation sources, and uncertainties in dose coefficients and distributions of different emitters.
