State and Community Tobacco Control Policy and Media Research – RFA-CA-10-008 (U01).
Expiration date: 1/23/2010
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), solicits cooperative agreement (U01) applications for research projects to investigate the effectiveness of the State and community tobacco control policy and media interventions. Focal areas include secondhand smoke policies, tax and pricing policies, tobacco industry marketing and promotion, mass media countermeasures, and community and social norms. The proposed projects may address tobacco use and exposure in any form in the United States and may involve both observational and intervention studies. In addition, this FOA also solicits separate cooperative agreement applications for a Coordinating Center for this program. The Coordinating Center will provide the necessary scientific leadership and administrative framework to facilitate interactive and integrative collaboration and communication among the awardees of individual Research Projects to be funded by this initiative and between the awardees and NCI staff.

Tobacco Research Initiative for State and Community Interventions (TRISCI)
The Tobacco Research Initiative for State and Community Interventions stimulates research on new or existing tobacco control interventions relevant to State and community tobacco control programs. The initiative supports research on innovative tobacco prevention and control interventions at the community, State or multi-state level, particularly policy or media-based interventions. It also emphasizes collaboration between tobacco control researchers, state-based comprehensive tobacco control programs and community-based coalitions. For more information on TRISCI and other links to state level information regarding tobacco use prevalence, policies and programs visit this page.
