Building Research Capacity in Global Tobacco Product Regulation Program (U18) Clinical Trials Not Allowed

The purpose of the Building Research Capacity in Global Tobacco Product Regulation Program is to identify, support, develop, conduct, and coordinate research efforts relating to tobacco control laws and rules in foreign countries that will directly inform and support FDA’s exercise of its authority to regulate the manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of tobacco products in the United States.  The program will advance CTP’s mission by utilizing the WHO’s Member States’ expertise and extensive international contacts in global tobacco control, as well as take advantage of WHO’s own programmatic expertise, to inform and support adequate manufacture, distribution and market regulations of tobacco products for the protection of public health in the United States.

By way of example, project activities could include:

• Develop a plan to increase WHO’s capacity to facilitate global tobacco-related research and address novel tobacco products;
• Create and maintain existing global data information systems to support the Program research goals and allow for efficient and timely information sharing with FDA and other partners;
• Continue to coordinate and mobilize the Global Tobacco Regulators Forum for the purpose of sharing global tobacco regulation experience and expertise;
• Analyze tobacco-related research and produce technical papers on various issues of relevance to tobacco product regulation, e.g., the science of novel products, the environmental impact of tobacco products, illicit trade in tobacco products, tobacco product addiction, the science of nicotine, regulation of tobacco products that contain synthetic nicotine or nicotine otherwise not derived from tobacco; and/or
• Share knowledge and resources regarding the use of sensory methods to assess the presence of characterizing flavors in tobacco products.
