Abstract
The Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program within the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), is tasked with the mandate of identifying biodosimetry tests to assess exposure and medical countermeasures (MCMs) to mitigate/treat injuries to individuals exposed to significant doses of ionizing radiation from a radiological/nuclear incident, hosted. To fulfill this mandate, the Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program (RNCP), hosted a workshop in 2018 workshop entitled "Policies and Regulatory Pathways to U.S. FDA licensure: Radiation Countermeasures and Biodosimetry Devices." The purpose of the meeting was to facilitate the advancement of MCMs and biodosimetry devices by assessing the research devices and animal models used in preclinical studies; government policies on reproducibility, rigor and robustness; regulatory considerations for MCMs and biodosimetry devices; and lessons learned from sponsors of early stage MCM or biodosimetry devices. Meeting presentations were followed by a NIAID-led, open discussion among academic investigators, industry researchers and U.S. government representatives.
