Opportunity Summary:
The Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award in Tobacco Control Regulatory Research (K08) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development grant designed to help clinically trained researchers become independent investigators whose work can directly inform U.S. tobacco product regulation. The central aim is workforce development: the program supports promising early-career clinicians as they build the research skills, publication record, and regulatory-relevant expertise needed for long-term careers that can shape how tobacco products are manufactured, distributed, marketed, and evaluated from a public health perspective.
This opportunity provides substantial protected time for an intensive, supervised research and career development experience under the guidance of an experienced mentor (or mentoring team). The supported work can be biomedical, behavioral, or translational in nature, but it must clearly align with the research priorities tied to the regulatory authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). In practical terms, the research is expected to generate evidence that regulators can use when developing, implementing, or assessing tobacco-related rules and policies. The program is anchored in the legal framework established by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), Public Law 111-31, which defines FDA CTPs authority and the kinds of scientific questions that matter for regulation.
Eligibility is oriented toward individuals with clinical doctoral backgrounds who are positioned to conduct patient- or clinically informed research. Applicants are expected to hold a clinical doctoral degree, and the announcement also allows participation from individuals with a Ph.D. or other doctoral degrees in clinical disciplines. People who hold a Ph.D. in a non-clinical discipline but are certified to perform clinical duties may be eligible as well, though the announcement advises them to contact the relevant NIH Institute to confirm fit and eligibility. Participating NIH Institutes invite K08 applications specifically for candidates pursuing NIH-supported research careers that address FDA CTP regulatory science priorities in tobacco control.
Institutional eligibility is broad across the U.S. research ecosystem and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status. The eligibility list also explicitly includes a range of mission-driven and minority-serving institutions such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American, Native American, and Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Small businesses and for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses) are also listed as eligible applicants. At the same time, the FOA makes clear that foreign participation is restricted: non-U.S. entities are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as NIH defines them in its Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed.
From a funding and administration standpoint, these awards are NIH grants funded with monies made available through the FDA Center for Tobacco Products under the authority of the Tobacco Control Act. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, in the health area, and is associated with CFDA number 93.077 (Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act Regulatory Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this program.
