Research at BfS
 The tasks assigned to BfS are mainly stipulated in laws and ordinances. BfS applies the state-of-the-art of science
and technology to fulfil these tasks. The Act relating to the establishment of BfS specifies that BfS does research in order to fulfil its mission.
This research is uniquely aimed at fulfilling the stipulated tasks and it can therefore be said that its role is to “serve” the overall objective.
Research done at BfS is thus different from research done at universities, which is aimed at providing new insights.
With respect to financing, BfS research activities can be separated into the categories “research funded by BMU” and “research funded by third parties”.
In these cases BfS invites to tender, provides expert assistance to the researchers, and assesses and publishes the project results. Research activities
may only be carried out by BfS itself if justified by specific circumstances, which is an exception to the rule.

European Research Framework Programme
|
|
|
The procedure of awarding research funds out of the EU budget is clearly defined in terms of content and time, this procedure being referred to as Research Framework Programme (RFP). All measures of the Community in the field of Research and Technological Development (RTD) are integrated in this framework programme.
Since the first framework programme for research, technology and development was introduced in 1984, the European Union has played a leading role in the planning and implementation of multidisciplinary research and cooperation measures in Europe.
Currently, already the seventh research framework programme is running with the largest total budget amounting to 54 billion euros.

Wismut Uranium Miners Cohort Study
|
|
|
The German uranium miners cohort study (Wismut cohort) is the largest single cohort study worldwide of miners exposed to radon and its progeny and is being conducted by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) for several years by now. The study comprises data on nearly 59,000 male miners who worked with the Wismut company in uranium mining in the former German Democratic Republic between 1946 and 1990. The second mortality follow-up has been finished and first results have been published. It is the aim to open this data set to the scientific community for further analyses.

ERA-PRO: European radiobiological archives
|
|
|
The Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS), together with the University of Cambridge, has started a 3-year project to promote an existing European database called the European Radiobiology Archives (ERA). The project ERA-PRO is partly financed with support from the European Commission. Together with the American National Radiobiology Archives (NRA) and Japanese Radiobiology Archives (JRA), ERA includes nearly all radiation biology studies with animals carried out between 1960 and 1998 in Europe, the US, and Japan, involving a total of more than 300,000 animals.

Departmental radiation protection research programme
|
|
|
In order to perform its legal tasks the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) has to clarify technical-scientific questions of fundamental importance for the protection of man against the hazards of ionising and non-ionising radiation. To elaborate the scientific-technical and legal bases for this, the BMU has budgetary funds for the Departmental radiation protection research programme.
