Public Solicitation
Public Solicitation for Research
Solicitation from the public is being carried out for research themes focusing on radiation exposure, a concern common to all humankind in the 21st century.
This center was established in FY2016 by a coalition of three research institutes – the Research Institute for Radiation Biology and Medicine at Hiroshima University, the Atomic Bomb Disease Institute at Nagasaki University, and the Fukushima Global Medical Science Center at Fukushima Medical University – to respond to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident within an academic framework, to establish an academic foundation for advanced and integrated radiation disaster and medical science research, and to offer the results of the research to the residents of the country and the international community.
This center jointly launches an open call for research projects to promote collaborative research of radiation effect and related sciences.
