Release Date:  April 1, 1999 

P.T.

National Cancer Institute

An informational session for investigators planning to submit applications in
response to Request for Applications (RFA) CA-99-001 will be held on Thursday,
April 22, 1999 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Building 31, Room 6C-10, 9000
Rockville Pike, on the campus of National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. 
The first part of the meeting will be reserved for general questions about
applying for funding from NCI and related procedural issues, while the second
section will focus on issues related to this specific RFA.  Investigators may
choose to attend either session, or both.  Additional information may be found
on the Tobacco Control Research Branch web site at: 
http://dccps.nci.nih.gov/tcrb/scrfa.html.

RFA CA-99-001, published in the NIH Guide, February 11, 1999, solicits
research project grant (R01) applications to stimulate research on new or
existing tobacco control interventions relevant to State and community tobacco
control programs.  This will be achieved by supporting research on innovative
tobacco prevention and control interventions at the community, State, or
multi-state level.  The results of this research will guide tobacco control
programs across the Nation, in order to increase program effectiveness and
produce real reductions in the prevalence of tobacco use.  The full text of
the RFA can be accessed at:
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-99-001.html.

Representatives from the NCI's extramural research programs, Grants
Administration Branch and Division of Extramural Activities will be available
to provide information and to answer questions relevant to applications
responding to this RFA.  Transcripts will be available upon request for
investigators who are unable to attend.
