The Radiation Research Program (RRP) is responsible for management of NCI’s support for research across the radiation sciences spanning clinical trials, combined modality radiotherapy, experimental therapeutics, radiation treatment planning, radiobiology, physics and technology. The RRP establishes priorities, allocates resources, and evaluates the effectiveness of radiation research being conducted by NCI grantees. RRP staff represent the program to NCI leadership and conduct outreach at scientific meetings on matters related to radiation research. The RRP coordinates its activities with other radiation research programs at NCI, NIH, other Federal agencies, and national and international research organizations, and serves as a focal point within NIH for extramural investigators concerned with radiation research in the treatment of cancers.
