Request a Grant Writer

Grants to USA and territories principal investigators affiliated with nonprofits, IHEs, for-profits, local, state, and Tribal governments, school districts, and organizations for clinical trial-based research projects on tobacco regulations. Required registrations may take several weeks to complete. Funding is intended to support researchers involved in a clinical trial feasibility study, an independent clinical trial, or a separate ancillary study to an existing trial, as part of their research and career development.

The objective of the NIH Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) is to provide salary and research support for a sustained period of "protected time" (3-5 years) for intensive research career development, under the guidance of an experienced mentor, or sponsor in the biomedical, behavioral or clinical sciences leading to research independence. The expectation is that, through this sustained period of research career development and training, awardees will launch independent research careers and become competitive for new research project grant (e.g., R01) funding.

Investigators who have the quality and breadth of training necessary to conduct cutting-edge research related to the regulation, manufacture, distribution and marketing of tobacco products are needed. All applicants responding to this FOA are expected to propose research that responds to the priorities of the FDA Center for Tobacco Products as outlined in the Program Scope and Research Objectives.

Program Scope and Research Objectives

The FDA and NIH share interest in supporting research that could inform FDA's tobacco regulatory authorities. To that end, the research encouraged by this FOA is expected to provide additional scientific data to the research base to inform regulation of tobacco products to protect public health. Science will inform the FDA in regulation of tobacco products in order to reduce the public health toll from tobacco product use in the United States. This FOA is focused on the following seven FDA CTP interest areas. Only applications proposing research projects relevant to one or more of these seven areas will be considered for funding.

Scientific Interest Areas:

- Toxicity
- Addiction
- Health Affects
- Behavior
- Communications
- Marketing Influences
- Impact Analysis

For more information on these interest areas and a list of special considerations, see the RFP on the URL For Full Text link below.
