Grants to Research 'Reduced Risk' Tobacco Products
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), along with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), will award several grants to fund research into the efficacy of so-called "reduced-risk" tobacco products. The program is designed to "stimulate multidisciplinary research on the chemical composition, behavior of use, exposure to toxic agents, addictive properties, differential toxicity, and individual and public-health impact of potential reduced-exposure tobacco products," according to NIH. Requests for funding for a maximum of five years should be made under the investigator-initiated research project grants (R01), or the two-year exploratory/developmental grant (R21) mechanism.

Domestic and foreign public and private for profit and nonprofit organizations, including faith-based charities and educational institutions, are eligible to apply. No more than $200,000 may be requested in a single year. Submission deadlines vary. For more information, read the full announcement online.
