RFP 852R007: VFHY Youth Tobacco Prevention Research Grants

The Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth (VFHY) is soliciting proposals for collaborative research grants related to preventing tobacco use among young people. VFHY's research goals include building a statewide program of research on causes and prevention of youth tobacco use; funding collaborative projects to avoid duplication of efforts; funding multi-disciplinary and multi-partner research in order to utilize expertise and resources efficiently; promoting collaboration and research-sharing within the scientific community; generating new investigators’ interest in tobacco prevention research; and using VFHY funding as base for attracting additional outside funding for youth tobacco research in Virginia. VFHY is highly committed to funding only collaborative research projects for several reasons: to best utilize the expertise and resources of research entities, to avoid the duplication of research conducted with VFHY funds and to establish a unique system that may result in the leveraging of research funds to gain additional funds from other research sponsors. Grant amounts are not to exceed $450,000 in a three-year period. Per year, the budget requested shall not exceed $150,000 including F&A or indirect costs. Total funding for all awards will be approximately $750,000 per year.

Period of Contract: From July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015.
