National and State Tobacco Control Program

archived

CDC's Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) announces the availability of funds to implement DP20-2001, National and State Tobacco Control Program. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports the achievement of four National Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) goals to 1) Prevent initiation of commercial tobacco use among youth and young adults; 2) Eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS); 3) Promote quitting among adults and youth; and 4) Identify and eliminate tobacco-related disparities. Achievement of these goals will reduce chronic disease morbidity, mortality, and disability related to commercial tobacco use and dependence and SHS exposure in the United States. These goals will be accomplished by funding two components: National Tobacco Control Program (State Based) – Approximately $67 million per year to fund 51 applicants. Commercial Tobacco Use and Dependence Treatment Support System – Approximately $16 million per year to fund all 53 applicants to ensure quitline capacity during a national media campaign. *When CDC references tobacco, the reference is for commercial tobacco and not the sacred and traditional use of tobacco by some American Indian communities.
