New York University School of Medicine received a $310,185 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. This R34 planning grant supports the development and feasibility testing of a mobile application designed to deliver the Financial Freedom from Cigarettes (FIERCE) intervention—an evidence-based program that integrates financial coaching into smoking cessation treatment. The project aims to address the reinforcing relationship between financial hardship and tobacco use among the estimated 73 million Americans experiencing financial stress, a population with persistently high smoking rates despite overall national declines in tobacco use. The grant deliverables include: (1) development of a smartphone application to enable virtual delivery of the previously validated FIERCE intervention, which demonstrated improved seven-day smoking abstinence and reduced financial stress markers in a prior randomized controlled trial (n=410); (2) evaluation of user engagement, user experience, and preliminary efficacy of the FIERCE app; and (3) assessment of study protocol feasibility to support a future fully-powered R01-funded multi-site randomized controlled trial. This planning grant generates foundational data necessary to expand the reach and scalability of the in-person FIERCE intervention through mobile technology.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
