Purpose

To inform the research community thatThe National Institutes of Health (NIH) Tobacco Regulatory Science Program (TRSP), participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) intends to promote a new initiative by publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to solicit applications for research proposing the innovative analysis of existing (publicly available) nationally representative U.S. cross-sectional and longitudinal data, to investigate novel scientific ideas and/or to generate new models, systems, tools, methods, or technologies that have the potential for significant impact on biomedical or biobehavioral research in areas relevant to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). Other publicly available data sets would be considered depending on the analyses to be conducted; however, nationally representative analyses will receive priority. Applications not using nationally representative data sets will need to provide justification why the data set is unique, and why the research questions cannot be answered from a (publicly available) national representative data set. This FOA encourages the analyses of public use datasets that may inform tobacco regulatory actions in the United States (U.S.).

This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.

The FOA is expected to be published in Fall 2019 with an expected application due date in Fall 2019.

This FOA will utilize the R21 activity code.
