Opportunity Summary:
The Tobacco Control Regulatory Research (R03) funding opportunity (RFA-OD-13-012) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) small grant program designed to support focused, short-term studies that can directly inform how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) regulates tobacco products. The core aim is to stimulate biomedical, behavioral, and social science research that generates practical evidence for the development, implementation, and evaluation of rules governing how tobacco products are manufactured, distributed, and marketed. A key requirement is that proposed projects align with FDA CTP regulatory research priorities under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), Public Law 111-31. In other words, the research must be clearly tied to questions the FDA can act on through its tobacco regulatory authority, with an emphasis on protecting public health.
Although NIH administers the awards, the funding itself comes from designated FDA CTP funds set aside specifically for tobacco regulatory science. The expectation is that awardees will produce findings and data that are immediately useful for regulatory decision-making, such as evidence that helps evaluate potential regulatory options or assess the public health impact of existing or proposed policies. The opportunity is positioned as a way to generate targeted, policy-relevant evidence rather than purely exploratory work, with the intent that results can feed into the FDA's regulatory framework for tobacco product oversight.
This announcement is categorized as a discretionary grant opportunity in the health area, using the NIH R03 mechanism (small research grant). The program anticipated making around 20 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $1,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $50,000, reflecting the small-grant nature of the mechanism and suggesting projects should be tightly scoped, efficient, and designed to answer a specific regulatory-relevant question within limited resources.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations. Eligible applicants include small businesses; other for-profit organizations; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities); private and public institutions of higher education; and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district, independent school districts, and certain housing authorities). The announcement also explicitly includes tribal entities (both federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations) and emphasizes inclusivity for a variety of institution types such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Foreign organizations and foreign institutions are eligible to apply, foreign components of U.S. organizations may participate, and foreign components are allowed as defined by NIH policy. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have institutional funds to contribute.
Key administrative details include the posted date of June 20, 2013, with a current closing date listed as June 17, 2014 (with an original closing date of January 16, 2015). The opportunity was later archived on July 17, 2014. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.077, tied to Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act Regulatory Research.
