U.S. Tobacco Control Policies to Reduce Health Disparities (R01)

Funding Opportunity PAR-17-217 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support observational or intervention research focused on reducing health disparities in tobacco use in the United States. Specifically, this FOA is intended to stimulate scientific inquiry focused on innovative tobacco control policies including, but not limited to, those addressing health economics (e.g. tax and pricing policies, insurance coverage for tobacco dependence treatment). Applicants may propose projects in which the primary outcome of interest is on reducing tobacco use health disparities in vulnerable populations by utilizing tobacco prevention and control strategies. The long-term goal of this FOA is to reduce health disparities in health outcomes thereby reducing the excess disease burden of tobacco use within these groups. This FOA provides funding for up to 2-years for research planning, intervention delivery, dissemination and implementation. Applicants submitting proposals related to health economics are encouraged to consult NOT-OD-16-025 to ensure that proposals align with NIH mission priorities in health economics research
