- This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) provides $395,248.00 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to conduct research on "Generalized and Cancer-Related Episodic Future Thinking for Smoking Cessation: Proof-of-Concept and Feasibility Testing." The research aims to develop an intervention using episodic future thinking to shift smokers' time perspective and reduce their bias...
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $399,891 Project Grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to Sensewhy, Inc. (UEI: N7FTT2U8NHX7) to evaluate the feasibility and clinical utility of the "Smokemon" wearable device for detecting smoking topography and predicting smoking lapses among cancer survivors who are daily smokers. The project will involve a one-week pre-quit observation period and a four-week post-quit observation period, during which...
- This federal Project Grant award of $164,484.00 from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) supports the development and evaluation of smoking cessation messages targeted to adults who smoke nondaily. The project, conducted by the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, aims to create tailored communications that increase knowledge, worry, risk perceptions, motivation, and intentions to quit smoking among this population. The researchers will...
- 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) provides $316,873 to the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Hospital, Inc. to develop and evaluate a Spanish-language mobile health (mHealth) smoking cessation app. The goal is to extend the reach of the team's previously validated printed smoking cessation intervention for Hispanic/Latinx smokers, a population disproportionately impacted by smoking-related...
- 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, in the amount of $798,473, was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The award supports research to develop and evaluate a brief, web-based intervention called Regulation of Craving Training (ROC-T) for smoking cessation. The project aims to test two versions of ROC-T - one focused on reappraisal skills and one on mindfulness-based acceptance - as a preparation intervention to be...
- The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), awarded a $431,643 Project Grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to develop and test a telehealth-delivered, pain-targeted motivational smoking cessation intervention for smokers with chronic pain who are not ready to quit. The project aims to overcome barriers to in-person treatment by delivering the intervention via telehealth in a Stage 1...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research), is focused on developing a cue-based smoking cessation intervention delivered via telehealth for people who smoke lightly (PSLI). The $906,306 award, with a performance period from September 2025 to August 2028, aims to adapt and pilot test an intervention that combines cue-based treatment with standard cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to promote smoking cessation among PSLI. The project builds on a previous small pilot study that established the feasibility and acceptability of a cue-based treatment approach for this population. The key products or services to be delivered under this grant include: (1) adapting the cue-based treatment intervention for remote, telehealth delivery; and (2) conducting a larger pilot study to test the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of the enhanced cue-based treatment compared to standard CBT alone in promoting smoking cessation among PSLI.
