among the States and the Federal
Government concerning radiation
control. This forum has made it possible
for State and Federal agencies to work
together to study existing and potential
radiological health problems of mutual
interest and to apply their increasingly
limited resources with maximum
efficiency in seeking ways to address
these problems, fostering coordination,
and providing original views.
II. Award Information
The objective of this cooperative
agreement is to coordinate Federal,
State, and Tribal activities to achieve
effective solutions to present and future
radiation control problems. The
recipient of this cooperative agreement
award will be expected to obtain the
States’ cooperation and participation on
committees and working groups
established to deal with individual
problems. The recipient will also plan
and facilitate an annual meeting, and
develop and offer educational activities
to demonstrate mutually beneficial
techniques, procedures, and systems
relevant to the mission of assuring
radiation protection. The recipient will
establish committees to address,
evaluate, and offer solutions for a wide
range of radiation health and protection
issues. Examples of relevant areas of
interest include, but are not limited to:
(1) The application of x-rays to the
healing arts, (2) the application of
medical/nonmedical ionizing radiation,
and (3) the control and mitigation of
radiation exposure from all sources.
