- The Project Grant award of $431,750 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), will support a multi-method investigation of premium cigar use and marketing. The research aims to inform the regulation of cigar products, as premium cigars have experienced a resurgence in recent years but lack evidence on their public health impact and patterns of use, especially among young people. The project, to be conducted by Rutgers, The...
- This $515,632 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) supports research to prepare the U.S. and states for potential new cigarette product standards that could significantly increase smoking cessation rates. The research team at the University of Minnesota will provide state-specific estimates of the number of people who smoke (PWS) that will quit smoking in response to a menthol ban and nicotine reduction standard, as well as the...
- This Project Grant award of $226,504 from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) supports research to understand tobacco use trajectories and related mechanisms among U.S. adults and youth representing minority and intersecting minority identities. The study aims to examine disparities in the use of diverse tobacco products, as well as the underlying mechanisms such as marketing exposure and product perceptions, within these populations. The research...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under CFDA 93.310 (Trans-NIH Research Support) is supporting a $675,599 study titled "Implementation, Reach, and Impact of Court-Ordered Tobacco Corrective Statement Postings at the Point-of-Sale". The primary awardee is Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, who will collaborate with Columbia University on the project. The study aims to: 1) characterize the implementation and reach of...
- This federal Project Grant award of $619,175 from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) supports a Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial to evaluate a novel harm reduction approach for oncology outpatients who smoke but refuse traditional tobacco treatment. The study will directly compare rates of switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes against standard care, while also assessing key barriers and facilitators to implementation. The...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act Regulatory Research program (CFDA 93.077) provides $370,000.00 to Marshall University Research Corporation (MURC) to determine the impact of synthetic coolants on nicotine's abuse liability and initiation-related behaviors. The research aims to address a critical knowledge gap in understanding the effects of synthetic coolants used in vaping products, as...
The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act Regulatory Research program (CFDA 93.077), awarded a $816,307 project grant to Health Research, Inc. to assess the impact of the substantial equivalence mechanism on the cigarette and cigar markets. The 5-year research project, which commenced on September 15, 2025, aims to characterize the marketplace for cigarette and cigar products that have received substantial equivalence determinations, and evaluate consumer behaviors and product differentiation within these combustible tobacco product classes. The study will leverage market data and laboratory analyses to examine the design, contents, and emissions of leading cigarette and cigar sub-brands. This research is intended to provide scientific evidence to inform the FDA's regulatory approach to tobacco products under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
