The committee expects that the new low-dose radiation program would conform to contemporary standards for data management and sharing. At the same time, the committee is aware that adhering to such guidelines can be challenging -- for example, when working with historical data for which data management and sharing agreements were not in place -- and expects that some flexibility would be needed in certain situations.

Several funding options directed toward training are discussed in Section 6.5.3. These may include training grants, visiting fellowships similar to those provided by the Radiation Epidemiology Branch,17 or partnerships such as those between the Radiation Effects Research Foundation and several universities in Japan and the University of Washington.18 Additionally, training can be in the form of informal collaborations between radiation experts and those outside the field, as well as through courses offered by institutions involved in radiation research.
