Funding Opportunities
CTP's Scientific Conference Grant Program Priorities
Through a trans-HHS collaborative research effort between the Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), the Tobacco Regulatory Science Program (TRSP) offers research funding opportunities focused on tobacco regulatory science. CTP also partners with other parts of the FDA to participate in agency-wide funding opportunities to advance the field of tobacco regulatory science.
Current Funding Opportunities
-
Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award in Tobacco Regulatory Research (K01 - RFA-OD-22-023 or RFA-OD-22-024)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide support and protected time for an intensive, supervised career development experience in biomedical, behavioral, and social science research that will inform the development and evaluation of regulations on tobacco product manufacturing, distribution, and marketing and that will lead to research independence. Research projects must address the research priorities related to the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP).
Application due dates: February 21, 2023, November 14, 2023, July 12, 2024, March 12, 2025 by 5:00 PM local time of application organization.
-
Pathway to Independence Award in Tobacco Regulatory Research (K99/R00 - RFA-OD-22-025 or RFA-OD-22-026)
The purpose of this FOA is to increase and maintain a strong cohort of new and talented independent investigators conducting research that will inform the development and evaluation of regulations on tobacco product manufacturing, distribution, and marketing. This program is designed to facilitate a timely transition of outstanding postdoctoral researchers with a research and/or clinical doctorate degree from mentored, postdoctoral research positions to independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions. This program will provide independent NIH research support during this transition in order to help awardees launch competitive, independent research careers. Research projects must address the research priorities related to the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP).
Application due dates: February 21, 2023, November 14, 2023, July 12, 2024, March 12, 2025 by 5:00 PM local time of application organization.

Tobacco Regulatory Science (R01 Clinical Trial Optional) (RFA-OD-23-017)
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to invite R01 applications to support biomedical and behavioral research that will provide scientific data to inform regulation of tobacco products to protect public health. Research Projects must address the research priorities related to the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). The awards under this NOFO will be administered by NIH using funds that have been made available through FDA CTP and the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (P.L. 111-31). Research results from this NOFO are expected to generate findings and data that are directly relevant in informing the FDA's regulation of the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products to protect public health.
Application due date: October 6, 2023, May 6, 2024, October 4, 2024, and May 2, 2025 by 5:00 p.m. local time of applicant organization.

FDA Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (R13)
The purpose of the FDA (R13) Scientific Conference Grant Program is to facilitate the provision of federal financial assistance in support of high-quality conferences and scientific meetings designed to research and investigate a topic clearly aligned with the FDA mission. The FDA recognizes the value of supporting high quality conferences and scientific meetings relevant to its mission and to the public health. A conference or scientific meeting is defined as a symposium, seminar, workshop, or any formal meeting, whether conducted face-to-face or virtually to exchange information and explore a defined subject, issue, or area of concern impacting the public's health within the scope of the FDA's mission
Application due dates: April 12, 2023; October 12, 2023; April 12, 2024; October 11, 2024; April 11, 2025; and October 10, 2025 by 11:59 p.m. EST.
In addition to supporting research through NIH's programs, CTP solicits proposals for research contracts administered by FDA. Those opportunities are published through the Federal Business Opportunities website and also posted on the CTP website.
