About this opportunity
The Targeted Evaluation of Ionizing Radiation Exposure (TEI-REX) program seeks to establish novel biodosimetry approaches to improve quantification of lower-dose ionizing radiation exposures between 1 to 4 Grays over timeframes of days to months. The U.S. Army Research Office and Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity will provide funding through cooperative agreements awarded to support research across three phases over five years. Proposals are due December 13, 2021 and will be evaluated based on technical merit, applicant qualifications, and cost/price.
There is no set-aside designation. Proposals must address both Focus Areas across all Phases, with Phase 1 focusing on prediction from at least one model system and Phase 2 involving a greater variety of exposure time points across two sample types and model systems. Awards are expected to multiple performers in spring/summer 2022 to commence work through 2027, with deliverables including technical reports and participation in program review meetings. Research performance will take place at awardee locations.

An amendment is issued to this BAA to make minor revisions to technical/ programmatic content related to the Q&A's submitted. The Q&A's are also posted.
The objective of the Targeted Evaluation of Ionizing Radiation Exposure (TEI-REX) program is to establish novel biodosimetry approaches enabling improved quantification of lower-dose ionizing radiation exposures (<0.75 Gray)[1] from samples that can be collected and/or tested minimally or non-invasively (hereafter known as ‘TEI-REX samples’), while also expanding quantitative and qualitative knowledge of the exposure environment. To accomplish this, the TEI-REX program will discover, characterize, and model biomarkers associated with a variety of ionizing radiation events, especially lower-dose exposures, from TEI-REX samples. The new capabilities developed under TEI-REX align with United States Government’s mission objectives ranging from investigation of exposure events to ensuring compliance with established dosimetry protocols.
IARPA highly encourages collaborative efforts and teaming among potential performers. To facilitate teaming, IARPA is willing to host on the TEI-REX webpage capability profiles, teaming interest forms, and/or lightning talk material. This material can be submitted to TEI-REX_BAASubmission-2021@iarpa.gov. The material submitted will be screened for appropriateness and TEI-REX relevance only. IARPA does not endorse any organization or individual who takes advantage of this opportunity. All material will be removed from the IARPA website at the closure of the BAA (13 Dec 2021) or upon request of the submitter.
