Applications Due: April 15, 2005
The purpose of the TTURC Pilot Grants Program is to provide seed money to support innovative studies aimed at reducing the harm from tobacco dependence, or strategies to reduce tobacco use among populations that have been refractory to smoking cessation efforts. Proposals may involve any level of inquiry (e.g. molecular, genetic, preclinical, clinical, epidemiologic or public policy). Up to $25,000 for 1 year is available to support pilot projects. This funding may be used for direct costs only.
Potential applicants must first contact the Pilot Projects Program Director (contact information below) to determine whether the proposed project is within the scope of the Center; applications that have not been discussed will not be accepted. Before submitting an application, please contact Roxy McCann at 612-625-2662 or by email at donni0007@umn.edu for submission guidelines. A pdf file with a copy of this announcement is available.
