Center for Sharing Public Health Services Releases Call for Proposals: Shared Services Learning Community
Public health agencies play a critical role in our nation’s health system. As communities face new challenges, like the increasing burden of chronic disease and lean fiscal environments, and new opportunities like advances in technology, many public health officials and policy-makers are exploring new ways to organize and structure the management and delivery of public health services. One such strategy is the sharing of services, resources and functions across multiple public health agencies and jurisdictions. This is referred to as cross-jurisdictional sharing (CJS). In order to better understand the opportunity and impact of CJS among public health agencies, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) will fund up to 18 teams across the country that are exploring, implementing or improving cross-jurisdictional sharing arrangements to participate in the Shared Services Learning Community. The deadline for proposals is August 29, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. EDT. Click here for more information.

Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science for Research Relevant to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (P50)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have formed an interagency partnership to foster research relevant to tobacco regulation. This funding opportunity invites center grant (P50) applications for Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science (TCORS) for research relevant to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. The overall TCORS program objective is to conduct programs of multidisciplinary research that will inform the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products related to the regulatory authority of the FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). The research findings generated from this FOA are expected to provide additional scientific data to inform the regulation of the tobacco products to protect public health.
