Opportunity Summary:
The Tobacco Control Regulatory Research (R01) funding opportunity (RFA-OD-13-011) is a discretionary NIH grant program designed to support research that directly informs how tobacco products are regulated in the United States. The central aim is to generate biomedical, behavioral, and social science evidence that can be used to develop, refine, and evaluate regulations affecting the manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products. The work supported under this announcement is expected to be immediately relevant to real-world regulatory decision-making, with an emphasis on producing findings and datasets that help protect public health.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is explicitly tied to the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), Public Law 111-31. In practical terms, that means proposed projects must align with tobacco regulatory science priorities that fall within FDA CTPs mandate. The intent is not general tobacco-related research, but research that answers questions regulators face when considering rules and policies about what tobacco products contain, how they are made, how they move through commerce, and how they are marketed to consumers.
Although NIH administers the awards, the funding comes from dedicated FDA CTP tobacco regulatory science funds. This structure matters because it signals that the research is expected to feed into a regulatory pipeline, supporting evidence-based oversight and policy actions. The program uses the NIH R01 mechanism, which typically supports investigator-initiated research projects of substantial scope, and it anticipates supporting around 20 awards in total.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of about $11,000,000, with an award ceiling of $499,999. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for applicants who may not have access to non-federal matching funds. The activity category is health, and the program is associated with CFDA number 93.077, reflecting its connection to FSPTCA regulatory research.
Eligibility is broad and spans many types of organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, city, and special district governments; public and private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; federally recognized and other tribal governments and organizations; public housing authorities; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status; small businesses; and other for-profit organizations (outside the small business category). The FOA also explicitly allows non-U.S. entities and foreign institutions to apply, permits non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations, and allows foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement. In addition, it highlights eligibility for a wide range of mission-driven and minority-serving organizations such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions, as well as faith-based and community-based organizations and regional organizations.
From a timing and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on June 20, 2013, with an archive date of July 17, 2014. It shows an original closing date of January 16, 2015, but a current closing date of June 17, 2014, indicating the active submission window at the time reflected in the listing. Applicants were directed to the NIH guide page for the full announcement details, and NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts were provided for access and linking issues.
Overall, this FOA is best understood as a targeted R01 program for tobacco regulatory science: it funds rigorous research specifically chosen for its ability to inform FDA regulation of tobacco product manufacture, distribution, and marketing under the FSPTCA, with NIH serving as the grant-making and administrative home for FDA CTP-supported research intended to strengthen public health protections.
