Pre-Application Webinar: Advancing Adolescent Tobacco Cessation Intervention Research

This webinar provided information about two new companion Requests for Applications (RFAs), Advancing Adolescent Tobacco Cessation Intervention Research RFA-CA-22-042 (R34 Clinical Trial Optional) and RFA-CA-22-043 (R01 Clinical Trial Required).

The RFAs will support research to develop, test, implement, and evaluate behavioral tobacco cessation interventions for adolescents, with a focus on mid- to late adolescence (approximately 14-20 years old). Of particular interest are studies of interventions that

1. Promote cessation of non-cigarette tobacco products (e.g., electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), cigars, smokeless tobacco)
2. Promote cessation in the context of dual and poly tobacco use
3. Are tailored to subpopulations with elevated tobacco use rates (e.g., African American youth, American Indian/Alaska Native youth, LGBTQ youth, and youth with mental health conditions)

In this optional pre-application webinar, program staff from the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute on Drug Abuse provided prospective applicants with an overview of the funding opportunities—including specific application requirements—and addressed general questions.

For more information about the webinar, see NOT-CA-23-009.

A webinar recording will be available a few weeks after the event.
