  1. NCI Tobacco Research Priorities Michele Bloch, MD, PhD Medical Officer Tobacco Control Research Branch, NCI January 30, 2005

  2. Two Big Changes Coming to NIH Grant Application Process! • New federal-wide application form: SF 424 “Research and Related Application” replacing PHS 398. • ONLY electronic submission through Grants.gov. New process will no longer permit “last minute” submissions. • Changes being phased in by type of application: RO1 change currently scheduled for October 1, 2006. • “Applicants are encouraged to prepare themselves now to participate in electronic submission through Grants.gov. They are strongly urged to acquaint themselves with the new forms, the technology and changes in the process. They are also urged to regularly visit this website to keep pace with changes in NIH's quickly evolving electronic receipt program.”

  3. Current Program Announcements • PA-04-03, “Testing Tobacco Products Promoted to Reduce Harm.” Aimed at stimulating research on “PREPs” • Small Grants Program for Behavioral Research in Cancer Control, RO3. (2-3 years, 100 K direct total). Aimed at new investigators. • Exploratory Grants for Behavioral Research in Cancer, R21. (2 years, 275 K direct total). Aimed at new ideas and feasibility studies. • PA - Social and Cultural Determinants of Health – numerous NIH I/Cs participating.

  4. Tobacco Research at Other NIH Institutes/Centers • NHLBI: Community-Responsive Interventions to Reduce Cardiovascular Risk in American Indians and Alaska Natives, RFA-HL-06-002. UO1 mechanism • NIDA: Epigenetics of Neurobiology and Addiction, RFA-DA-06-007. RO1 and RO3. • FIC: International Health Research and Capacity Building RFA. TW-02-005. RO1 awards in the field. • NIH Pathway to Independence Award. PA-06-133. To facilitate receiving an RO1 award earlier in an investigator’s research career. Released January 27, 2006.

  5. Training Opportunities in Behavioral Research • Cancer Training Branch Awards http://www.cancer.gov/researchandfunding/training/awards • Cancer Prevention, Control and Behavioral and Population Sciences Career Development Award (KO7). Provides support for three to five years of specialized didactic study and mentored research. • The NCI Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program provides postdoctoral training opportunities in cancer prevention and control. Study for an MPH, have mentored research in the field of cancer prevention and control at NCI. See: http://www3.cancer.gov/prevention/pob/index.htm

  6. NCI funds most applications from “The Pool.” • Majority of NCI funding awarded to applications which are “unsolicited,” using standard dates. • Do not need to wait for a Program Announcement or Request for Application to submit a good idea. • Consider visiting the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) website to look at available study sections. See, http://cms.csr.nih.gov/ • Are welcome to write a cover letter, requesting a specific study section or specific expertise. • DO NOT request specific reviewers – they will then be considered “in conflict” with your application.

  7. NCI Funding Priorities • Official funding priorities stated in official documents. • The Nation’s Investment in Cancer Research. A Plan and Budget Proposal for Fiscal Year 2007 (“By-Pass” Budget) http://plan.cancer.gov/ • For example: “In our 2004 budget proposal, we give special attention to four areas of public health emphasis. They are NCI Challenge areas for Improving the Quality of Cancer Care and Reducing Cancer-Related Health Disparities and Extraordinary Opportunity areas in Cancer Survivorship: Improving Treatment Outcomes and Quality of Life, and Research on Tobacco and Tobacco-Related Cancers.”

  8. 2006 By-Pass Budget NCI will support: • Tobacco use prevention and smoking cessation research that addresses underserved and understudied youth and young adults. • Health behaviors research, including tobacco use, among medically underserved people who have survived cancer. • Research on effective State and community programmatic and policy interventions for tobacco control. • International research on tobacco control, prevention, and dissemination to benefit low- and middle-income nations. • Others…
