What NASA programs deal with space radiation?

NASA has a number of programs that study space radiation and space radiation effects.

The NASA Sun-Earth Connection page at http://sec.gsfc.nasa.gov/sec_education.htm hosts a number of links to education and research programs that deal with space weather including the Living With a Star program (http://lws.gsfc.nasa.gov/) and the NASA Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum (http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov).

There are also programs that research the specific ways space radiation can affect satellite electronics (http://radhome.gsfc.nasa.gov/top.htm) and astronauts working in space and new NASA research programs to study these health issues (http://srhp.jsc.nasa.gov/).

The Radiation Effects and Analysis group (http://radhome.gsfc.nasa.gov) performs testing and analysis investigating the effects of radiation on electronics and photonics.
