What the grant funds
The Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) invites applications for data standards and terminologies development projects to support high-quality tobacco research, streamline scientific review, and evaluation, and ultimately, improve public health outcomes related to tobacco use. The primary objective is to support open, consensus-based, data standards for use in studies of tobacco products. A secondary objective is to promote and educate federal regulators, tobacco industry, and global organizations on the use of standardized data to facilitate data sharing, integration, and analysis. Projects may focus on solutions to data standards and terminologies development and implementation challenges and/or on specific concepts, domains, or areas where standardization is needed.
