Research projects must address the research priorities related to the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) as mandated by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), Public Law 111-31. The awards under this FOA will be administered by NIH using designated funds from the FDA CTP for tobacco regulatory science. Research findings generated from this FOA are expected to provide sufficient preliminary data for subsequent investigator-initiated research that is relevant to the FDA's regulation of the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products to protect public health. The NIH and the FDA have formed an interagency partnership to foster research relevant to tobacco regulatory science within the framework of the FSPTCA.
