- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393), awarded the University of Alabama a Project Grant of $2,524,071 on September 23, 2025, for research investigating the neurocomputational mechanisms underlying self-regulation and reinforcement learning in smoking cessation decisions. The four-year project, with completion scheduled for August 31, 2029, will employ computational model-based multimodal neuroimaging...
- The National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute awarded Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center $694,182 on June 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to conduct a prospective longitudinal cohort study examining biomarker levels and respiratory health effects associated with exposure to electronic cigarettes and combustible cigarettes in young children. The research enrolls 300 children ages 1 to 10 years across three equal exposure...
- The National Cancer Institute, within the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center $606,142 on August 1, 2026, to conduct a fully powered randomized controlled trial testing a novel mobile messaging intervention designed to increase smoking quit attempts and cessation among adults who initially report not being ready to quit smoking within thirty days. The intervention, called PHOENIX, delivers daily text messages tailored to...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded the Regents of the University of Minnesota $621,549 under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) on June 1, 2026. The award funds a randomized experimental marketplace study evaluating nicotine pouches as a potential substitute for combustible menthol cigarettes in the context of menthol flavor bans. The research specifically examines the acceptability of nicotine pouches relative to medicinal nicotine among menthol cigarette smokers,...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded the University of Virginia $669,910 on September 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to optimize pharmacist-led tobacco treatment for individuals who smoke and are not ready to make a quit attempt in federally qualified health centers. The project, titled "Optimizing Pharmacist-Led Tobacco Treatment for Individuals Who Smoke and Are Not Ready to Make a Quit Attempt in Federally Qualified Health Centers,"...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded the University of Rochester $583,304 on August 13, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to investigate toxicological assessment of emerging nicotine analogs in electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). The research addresses a substantial knowledge gap regarding the safety profile of novel nicotine analogs, including 6-methyl nicotine and nicotinamide, which manufacturers have introduced to circumvent premarket...
The National Cancer Institute awarded the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, through its University of Nebraska Medical Center division, $948,630 under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) on August 1, 2026, for a naturalistic cohort study examining the real-world effectiveness of smoking cessation aids in US adults. The project will conduct a longitudinal survey study using the Understanding America Study, a nationally representative panel of 20,000 US adults, to collect cigarette smoking cessation data as often as every two weeks. Current cigarette smokers will be repeatedly surveyed on quit readiness and attempts, abstinence, and use of FDA-approved medications (nicotine replacement therapy, varenicline, and bupropion) as well as commercial nicotine and cannabis products including e-cigarettes, non-tobacco oral nicotine products, THC, marijuana, and cannabidiol. The study will employ intensive longitudinal multi-level modeling of biweekly survey data to examine real-world effectiveness of cessation aids and analyze the markets, policies, and populations driving smoking cessation outcomes. The research addresses the efficacy-effectiveness gap that has created hesitancy among public health and clinical practitioners about endorsing FDA-approved quit smoking medications, and evaluates emerging non-FDA-approved products being marketed as quit aids. Performance of work occurs in Omaha, Nebraska. The project period runs from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2031.
