Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA OD 18 005
The Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award in Tobacco Regulatory Research (K01 - Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development grant designed to help early-career researchers build toward research independence in the specific area of tobacco regulatory science. The core goal is to provide sustained salary support and protected time for a structured, mentored research and training experience lasting three, four, or five years. The program is focused on developing investigators who can conduct high-quality biomedical, behavioral, and social science research that directly informs how tobacco products are regulated, including how regulations are developed, implemented, and evaluated.
A central emphasis of this K01 is that the proposed work should be relevant to regulation of tobacco product manufacturing, distribution, and marketing. In practical terms, supported projects are expected to generate evidence that can help regulators understand product characteristics, consumer behavior, marketing impacts, population health consequences, or other factors that matter when shaping or assessing tobacco-related policies. The award is explicitly intended to be mentored, meaning the applicant is expected to work under the guidance of an experienced mentor or mentoring team while building the skills, publications, and preliminary findings needed to compete successfully for independent research funding later on.
This funding opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant under the health funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 93.077. The funding opportunity number is RFA OD 18 005, and it was created on 2018-05-15, with an original closing date listed as 2019-11-08. While the listing does not provide an award ceiling or the expected number of awards, the intent is clearly oriented around long-term career development support rather than short, standalone project funding.
The applicant eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education when applying under the nonprofit category); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The opportunity also highlights additional eligible applicant types, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, Indian/Native American tribal governments other than federally recognized, and U.S. territories or possessions.
At the same time, the opportunity sets clear restrictions related to foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. In addition, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed. These limits mean the applicant organization and the supported activities must be U.S.-based without foreign components as part of the proposed work.
Finally, the title designation "Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed" signals a key boundary for applicants when designing their research and training plan. The award is meant to support mentored research and career development activities in tobacco regulatory science, but it does not allow the K01 candidate to lead an independent clinical trial as part of the award. Applicants should plan projects that fit within the allowed scope while still demonstrating a strong pathway to developing independent expertise and a long-term research program aligned with tobacco regulatory priorities.Apply for RFA OD 18 005
