Requests for Proposals

NIH revision applications for research relevant to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (P30)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has released a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) inviting revision applications from investigators and institutions/organizations with (NIH)-supported P30 project awards. This FOA is in support of an expansion of the scope of approved and funded scientific research programs involving smoking and tobacco-related products and/or their constituents. Investigators and institutions/organizations that are on a funded extension are eligible to apply for a revision. Revision applications for projects that have not originally focused on tobacco use are welcome provided that the applicant team has the required scientific expertise, and the proposed revision addresses the research priorities related to the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulatory authority identified in the FOA. Projects resulting from this FOA are expected to serve the FDA by generating relevant findings and data needed to inform the regulation of the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products to protect public health. Letters of intent are due February 26, 2013. Click here for more information.
