Radiation Research

DCTD supports research in radiation sciences that spans clinical trials, combined modality radiotherapy (RT), experimental therapeutics, radiation treatment planning, radiobiology, physics, and technology.

  • Radiation Oncology-Biology Integration Network (ROBIN)

    In response to the ROBIN Notices of Funding Opportunity (RFA-CA-21-040; RFA-CA-22-046), funded investigators are working to apply new biological knowledge and methods to study standard of care RT and RT in combination with systemic drugs and other agents before, during, and after therapy.

  • Radiation Research Program Interest Groups

    DCTD’s RRP helps to disseminate new findings in radiation research through facilitating several Interest Groups. These IGs comprise multidisciplinary communities of the radiation sciences focusing on a variety of subjects, such as brain metastases, quantitative imaging, and dosimetry. Participation in IGs is open to the extramural research community.

  • Radiation Research Program (RRP)/NCI’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Collaboration

    RRP supports SBIR projects in radiation oncology and assists with the development of requests for proposals, advising potential applicants, and monitoring progress of awardees. Specific research topics in development and clinical needs in radiation oncology are included in targeted contract solicitations (e.g., targeted radionuclide therapies, radiation biomarkers, etc).
