Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA FD 22 002
The Data Standards for Tobacco Research and Scientific Review Program (U24) is a cooperative agreement funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), specifically the FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). It supports projects aimed at speeding up the development of shared, non-proprietary data standards and terminologies that make tobacco research data easier to generate, compare, exchange, and review. A key emphasis is on consensus-based standards, meaning the work should move toward approaches that are broadly acceptable and usable across organizations rather than tied to a single vendor, platform, or proprietary format. Clinical trials are not allowed under this opportunity.
The main purpose of the program is to improve the consistency and interoperability of data used in studies of tobacco products, which in turn is intended to strengthen tobacco science, support harm reduction-related research, and improve how information is exchanged and evaluated during scientific review. In practical terms, the FDA is looking for work that reduces fragmentation in how tobacco-related data are defined, collected, formatted, and interpreted, so that researchers and reviewers are not forced to translate between incompatible variable names, coding schemes, and definitions each time a study is assessed or data are pooled across studies.
Projects funded under this opportunity may address broad, cross-cutting challenges in standards development and implementation (for example, methods for building consensus, governance approaches, mappings across existing standards, or strategies that improve adoption and usability), and/or they may focus on specific concepts, domains, or topic areas where standardization is especially needed. That could include developing common terminologies, defining core data elements, creating implementation guidance, or improving how tobacco product characteristics, exposure measures, behavioral outcomes, toxicology, product use patterns, or other tobacco-related research domains are represented in structured data. The overall thrust is to make tobacco research data more reusable, comparable, and review-ready across studies and stakeholders.
The award mechanism is a U24 cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial federal involvement compared with a typical grant. In a cooperative agreement, the FDA typically collaborates with awardees on project direction, milestones, and alignment with program goals, making the relationship more hands-on than a standard research project grant. The opportunity falls under the broad activity category of Agriculture, Consumer Protection, Food and Nutrition, and is associated with CFDA number 93.103.
Funding details indicate an award ceiling of $750,000, with an expectation of making about three awards. The opportunity (RFA-FD-22-002) was posted with a creation date of March 5, 2021, and had an original application closing date of June 2, 2021. Eligibility is broad and includes many entity types: state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including small businesses); and other eligible applicants as clarified in the official eligibility text. This wide eligibility suggests the FDA is open to supporting standards work led by academic groups, nonprofits, consortia, professional organizations, standards-development bodies, and qualified private-sector groups, provided the proposed outputs advance open, consensus-driven standards for tobacco research and scientific review.Apply for RFA FD 22 002
