Opportunity Summary:
The Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award in Tobacco Control Regulatory Research (K01) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development grant designed to help early-career researchers build the expertise, publication record, and independent research trajectory needed to become leaders in tobacco regulatory science. The program specifically provides substantial protected time and salary support for a mentored, intensive research and training period lasting three, four, or five years. The core idea is to give promising postdoctoral-level scientists the structured mentoring and resources they need to transition from supervised training into independent, NIH-competitive research careers, while producing evidence that can directly inform federal regulation of tobacco products.
A defining feature of this opportunity is its close alignment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) regulatory mission under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), Public Law 111-31. Proposed research must fit the research priorities tied to FDA/CTP's statutory regulatory authority, meaning the work should generate actionable evidence relevant to how tobacco products are made, distributed, and marketed, and how those activities can be regulated to protect public health. The scientific scope is intentionally broad across biomedical, behavioral, and social science domains, as long as the project clearly connects to tobacco product regulation and regulatory decision-making (for example, research that supports development, implementation, or evaluation of product standards; marketing and advertising restrictions; or other regulatory approaches within CTP's authority).
The intended applicants are postdoctoral fellows and other early-career scientists who already hold a research doctoral degree (such as a PhD) or a health professional doctoral degree (such as an MD, DDS, or equivalent), with training in biomedical or behavioral sciences and a clear commitment to research careers supported by NIH. In practice, applicants are expected to propose a mentored career development plan with strong supervision and professional development activities, along with a focused research project that demonstrates both feasibility during the award period and a logical path toward future independent funding. The goal is not only to complete a discrete study, but to emerge with the skills, preliminary data, collaborations, and track record needed to compete successfully for independent research grants.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary grant mechanism (K01) administered by NIH, with funds made available through FDA CTP under the authority of the FSPTCA. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity is identified as RFA-OD-13-014 and is associated with CFDA number 93.077, labeled Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act Regulatory Research. While the topic area is tobacco regulatory research, the awarding and management structure runs through NIH grant processes and expectations for mentored career development awards.
Eligibility covers a wide range of U.S.-based organizations, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with or without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. The announcement also highlights eligibility for several institution types that serve specific communities, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). At the same time, the program explicitly excludes non-U.S. entities: foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined in NIH policy) are not allowed, reinforcing that the work and administration must be anchored domestically.
Key logistical details in the public listing show the opportunity was posted June 28, 2013, with an original closing date of October 2, 2013, a current closing date listed as November 1, 2013, and an archive date of December 1, 2013. The sponsoring agency is NIH, and the full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants guide.
