CategoryExplanation: Eligibility for this FOA is limited to The World Health Organization (WHO).
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: The following organization is eligible to apply:     The World Health Organization (WHO)     As FDA seeks to proactively work with other countries and identify research and evaluation opportunities that will impact FDA&#146;s ability to successfully implement the Tobacco Control Act, further collaboration with WHO is anticipated. With the financial support from the U.S. FDA, WHO is uniquely qualified to undertake these activities, given its mandate, wide access to data, participation of member states, and access to worldwide regulatory expertise.
Description: The Food and Drug Administration announces its intention to accept and consider a single source application for award to the World Health Organization (WHO) for the Building Research Capacity in Global Tobacco Product Regulation Program. The purpose of the 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&#146;s exercise of its authority to regulate the manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of tobacco products in the United States. The Program will advance FDA&apos;s Center for Tobacco Products&apos; (CTP&#146;s) mission by utilizing the WHO&#146;s Member States&#146; expertise and extensive international contacts in global tobacco control, as well as WHO&apos;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. The Program will also provide a universal public benefit by creating opportunities for collaboration and research development globally, thereby resulting in better-informed and effective tobacco product regulation around the world, and increased knowledge in the public sphere regarding tobacco use and its harms globally.
