Pathway to Independence Award in Tobacco Regulatory Research (K99/R00 - Independent Clinical Trial Required )

The Pathway to Independence Award in Tobacco Regulatory Research (K99/R00) is a grant program. This grant’s purpose is to increase the number of talented, independent researchers studying the impact of regulations on tobacco product manufacturing, distribution, and marketing. By doing so, researchers can provide valuable insights for the development and evaluation of these regulations.

This award program is specifically designed to help exceptional postdoctoral researchers transition smoothly from mentored research positions to independent roles. It's tailored to those who have either a research or clinical doctorate degree.

The end goal is to assist these researchers into securing independent, tenure-track, or equivalent faculty positions. Ultimately, this will help maintain a talented pool of investigators contributing to this significant area of research. This program underlines the necessity for independent clinical trials to be conducted, and thus encourages applicants who are able and willing to carry them out.
