the tobacco regulatory science program (trsp)
the tobacco regulatory science program (trsp) is an interagency partnership between the nih and the fda center for tobacco products [fda.gov] to foster tobacco regulatory research. with the passage of the 2009 family smoking prevention and tobacco control act (tobacco control act), the fda acquired the authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products in order to protect public health. within the framework of the tobacco control act, the nih and fda formed this partnership to establish a comprehensive research agenda in tobacco regulatory science.
trsp offers several research funding opportunities focused on tobacco regulatory science. investigator-initiated applications may also be submitted for nih review. as you review the grant opportunities:
- review the current trsp research priorities [prevention.nih.gov] page for topics relevant to the fda center for tobacco products.
