NIH/National Cancer Institute has issued R01 and R21 funding
opportunities on "Improving Smoking Cessation in Socioeconomically
Disadvantaged Populations via Scalable Interventions." The due date for
applications (R01 and R21) is October 11, 2016. No letter of intent is
required.

The purpose of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide
support for highly innovative and promising intervention research
designed to improve smoking cessation outcomes among socioeconomically
disadvantaged populations. Specifically, this FOA is intended to
stimulate research efforts aimed at the development of smoking cessation
interventions that: 1) are targeted to socioeconomically disadvantaged
populations, and 2) could be made scalable for broad population impact.
Applicants may propose projects that develop and test novel cessation
interventions with the potential to be scaled up, as well as projects
that focus on enhancing the effectiveness, quality, accessibility,
utilization, and cost-effectiveness of currently scaled smoking
cessation interventions. The R01 provides funding for up to 5 years for
research planning, intervention delivery, and follow-up activities,
while the R21 provides funding for up to 2 years for protocol
development and early phase, pilot, or exploratory projects.
