>the FDA by generating relevant findings and data needed to inform
>the regulation of the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of
>tobacco products to protect public health. Consistent with the FDA
>CTP mission, this FOA seeks research centers that address such
>topics as: the diversity of tobacco products, reducing addiction,
>reducing toxicity and carcinogenicity, adverse health consequences,
>communications, marketing of tobacco products, and economics and policies.
