Abstract: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) maintain an interagency partnership to foster the development of the emerging field of tobacco regulatory science (TRS). This study will use the Center for Tobacco Products, Food and Drug Administration Funded Trainee/Scholar Survey to gather data on the characteristics, activities, and impact of training programs funded by the CTP and other partners. This evaluation will also determine how CTP-funded research and associated training programs and activities increase knowledge and skills related to TRS and interest to pursue careers in a TRS-related field. This survey provides support to determine the extent to which programs and activities generate positive impacts to increase the number of researchers who focus on TRS and TRS-related topics, specifically within CTP’s priority domains. The survey builds upon previous evaluations of trainees and training activities and provides necessary evidence to inform FDA decision-making. The web survey will gather responses from current and former Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science (TCORS) trainees and other CTP-funded trainees and scholars. Results will provide insights and directions to support future training and funding investments.
