The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering the Pathway to Independence Award in Tobacco Regulatory Research (K99/R00), a federal grant aimed at supporting early-career researchers transitioning from mentored postdoctoral positions to independent faculty roles. This initiative seeks to enhance the regulation and public health concerning tobacco products by fostering a strong cohort of independent investigators who will conduct research aligned with the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Eligible applicants include individuals with less than four years of postdoctoral experience, and the award provides up to five years of funding divided into two phases, focusing on various aspects of tobacco regulatory science. Interested parties can find more information and application details at the NIH grants website, with a submission deadline of March 12, 2025, and inquiries directed to grantsinfo@nih.gov.
