Abstract: In the face of emerging threats from natural disasters, nuclear accidents, and potential malicious use of radiation, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH) has created the "2024 NIH Strategic Plan and Research Agenda for Development of Radiation Biodosimetry Approaches Against Radiological and Nuclear Threats." This document represents a collaborative effort among leading experts in radiation biology, biomarkers, biodosimetry, and emergency response to address critical challenges in assessing radiation exposure and its potential health effects. Radiation biodosimetry, the science of determining radiation doses absorbed by individuals or using biological markers to predict health outcomes, is a cornerstone of effective medical management of patients following a radiological or nuclear incident. Accurate and timely biodosimetry is essential for identifying individuals in need of medical intervention, optimizing treatment strategies, and allocating resources efficiently. Building on and expanding the scope of the research originally envisioned for the overall program (as outlined in the original 2005 NIH Strategic Plan which was updated in a 2012 Progress Report), this 2024 document is devoted specifically to radiation biodosimetry. This Strategic Plan endeavors to outline a comprehensive framework to advance the field of radiation biodosimetry, encompassing basic and translational research, technology development, operational strategies, and implementation of cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning modalities. Key components of this Strategic Plan include enhancing understanding of radiation-induced biological effects, developing novel biodosimetry methods, and fostering collaborations to enhance the translation of research findings into practical applications. By investing in basic through translational research, NIAID aims to accelerate the development of biodosimetry tools that are reliable, rapid, and accessible to a broad range of stakeholders, including emergency responders, healthcare providers, and the general public. The 2024 NIAID Strategic Plan and Research Agenda for Radiation Biodosimetry reflects a commitment to promoting public health preparedness and resilience in the face of radiological emergencies. The strategies outlined in this document will facilitate significant progress in radiation biodosimetry, ultimately improving our ability to protect and care for individuals affected by radiation exposure by enhancing our nation's preparedness for nuclear and radiological emergencies and reducing the impact of these incidents on public health.
