Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science for Research Relevant to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (P50)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DA-13-003) supports the creation of Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science (TCORS) through the NIH P50 center grant mechanism. The central purpose of this program is to fund coordinated, multidisciplinary research centers that can generate rigorous scientific evidence directly useful for federal tobacco product regulation. The work is meant to align with the regulatory responsibilities and research priorities of the FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), with a strong emphasis on producing findings and datasets that can inform real-world decisions about how tobacco products are manufactured, distributed, and marketed in order to protect public health.
This FOA reflects an interagency partnership between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the FDA, designed to strengthen the scientific foundation for tobacco regulatory actions. Although NIH administers the awards, the funding is provided through designated FDA CTP funds authorized by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), Public Law 111-31. In practical terms, applicants are expected to propose research programs that are not only scientifically strong, but also clearly relevant to FDA regulatory questions and the evidence needs that support policy and enforcement under the Tobacco Control Act. The overall expectation is that the TCORS centers will operate as hubs of expertise that integrate multiple disciplines (for example, behavioral science, public health, toxicology, epidemiology, communications, economics, and related areas) to address complex regulatory science problems that a single-project grant might not cover as effectively.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the health funding area, listed under CFDA 93.077 (Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act Regulatory Research). It does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The FOA was posted and created on July 10, 2012, with an original and current closing date of November 14, 2012, and an archive date of December 15, 2012. The estimated total funding amount listed for the announcement is $4,000,000, indicating a limited pool intended to support a small number of substantial center-level awards rather than many smaller awards.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide mix of organizational types across the public, private, nonprofit, and governmental sectors. Eligible applicants include for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other than small businesses), nonprofit organizations (both those with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in those specific nonprofit categories), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, and a range of tribal entities (including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations). The eligibility section also explicitly includes Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), regional organizations, faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Notably, the announcement allows non-U.S. participation as well: foreign institutions may apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are permitted, which broadens the potential research talent pool for regulatory science questions that may benefit from international expertise or comparative product and market analyses.
The administering agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the FOA directs applicants and interested parties to the full announcement link hosted on the NIH grants site: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-DA-13-003.html.
