The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for a research topic titled "Statistical Analysis of Neutron Relative Biological Effectiveness" under the SBIR program. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is the specific branch responsible for this topic. The objective is to develop a statistical or computational model that accurately calculates neutron relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for lethality based on historical data. Neutron RBE is an important factor in calculating casualties, fatalities, and performance capabilities due to radiation effects in a nuclear detonation. The challenge lies in the difficulty of experimentally measuring neutron RBE, as it is dependent on various biological and physical factors. The goal is to utilize machine learning, statistical, or other computational techniques to analyze the large dataset of historical experimental data and develop a model that can accurately calculate neutron RBE. The project will be conducted in three phases: Phase I involves collecting experimental data and creating a searchable database, Phase II focuses on constructing the model and demonstrating its capabilities, and Phase III involves refining the model based on feedback and updating the data. The ultimate aim is to improve the accuracy of neutron RBE calculations and enhance radiation injury assessments. The solicitation is currently open, with a closing date of June 12, 2024.
