- What it does
- The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA) provides the authority to regulate tobacco product manufacturing, distribution and marketing. Regulatory research will provide the scientific evidence to guide the implementation of this authority. Research areas include: 1) tobacco product composition and design 2), the toxicity of tobacco products, 3) addiction and abuse liability of tobacco products, 4) the short- and long-term health effects of tobacco products, 5) people’s behaviors related to tobacco product use and characteristics, 6) communicating to the public regarding nicotine and the health effects of tobacco products, 7) the influences of tobacco marketing on susceptibility and tobacco product use, and 8) the potential or actual impact of FDA regulatory actions. The strategic priorities for these research areas can be found at https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/research/research-priorities.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
