2014 Pilot Project Program Announcement
The Yale Tobacco Center of Regulatory Science (TCORS) is offering funding for pilot projects to initiate research relating to understanding tobacco additives and modified risk tobacco products through behavioral, molecular, laboratory, pharmacological, epidemiological, and economic sciences that involves humans (both clinical & epidemiological research) and animals (basic research). The center is particularly interested in studies of menthol, flavors, and e-cigarettes and studies using novel techniques (e.g., neuroimaging).
Up to five pilot projects will be funded at the level of $25,000 to $100,000 (direct costs only), with higher levels of funding available for projects that incorporate more expensive technologies (such as neuroimaging). The project must be completed in one budget year.
Letters of intent are due by December 16, 2013 by 5:00 pm.
