Dear Radon Leaders,
I wanted to follow up on Bill's blog post about the upcoming grant transition with a message of my own.
Kansas State University (KSU), as a partner in the Midwest Universities Radon Consortium, is pleased to assume national radon services and projects formerly provided by the National Safety Council (NSC) for the US EPA. Our new responsibilities will include the National Radon Poster Contest, National Radon Hotlines, Referrals to State Radon Programs, Radon Test Kit Coupons, Radon Mitigation Promotion, and other outreach activities. KSU will partner with NSC during the 2010 National Radon Poster Contest to accomplish a smooth transition in activities and events. We also will work with NSC and EPA on other aspects of the transition. In addition to updating our Web sites and publications, several changes in programs and services are being implemented, including:
• Launch of new program Web site at www.sosradon.org (goes live September 26)
• Consolidation of radon phone lines
• Referral of calls to participating state radon programs
• Radon test kit purchase options
KSU welcomes the suggestions and input of all radon stakeholders in providing these services and programs, and your patience in achieving the transition in the coming months. Please post a question or comment here on RadonLeaders.org or contact Bruce Snead (bsnead@ksu.edu) at 785-532-4992 or Brian Hanson (bhanson@ksu.edu) at 785-532-4996 for more information about the transition.
