Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking applications for the Tobacco Regulatory Science Small Grant Program for New Investigators (R03 Clinical Trial Optional). This program aims to support new biomedical, behavioral, and social science investigators who are in the early stages of establishing independent careers in tobacco regulatory research. The R03 grant mechanism supports different types of projects, including pilot and feasibility studies, secondary analysis of existing data, small, self-contained research projects, development of research methodology, and development of new research technology.
* The grant will support research that addresses one or more High-Priority Research Topics related to the regulatory authority of the FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) as mandated by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA).
* The awards under this NOFO will be administered by NIH using funds made available through FDA CTP and the FSPTCA.
* Research results from this NOFO are expected to generate findings and data directly relevant to informing the FDA's regulation of the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products to protect public health.
