SRI will research and develop a device to triage individuals who may have been exposed to ionizing radiation after a radiological or nuclear incident. This came after SRI International received a $3.8M contract from the Department of Health and Human Services Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).



In this first phase of the project, SRI will test and validate a panel of biomarkers to determine if they are accurate indicators of radiation levels. In subsequent phases, SRI will develop a prototype radiation dose assessment tool known as a biodosimeter. This handheld device will ultimately be used in clinical tests to demonstrate that the amount of radiation to which an individual has been exposed can be measured quickly by detecting biomarkers in a noninvasively collected sample such as blood, urine, or saliva. The biodosimeter will be designed as a simple tool for reading test results, as easy to use as a standard home pregnancy test kit.
