How We Fund Grants
Global Action to End Smoking is committed to funding innovative research that focuses on scientific and educational gaps related to tobacco use and cessation, including the potential role of reduced risk products.

The process for screening, reviewing, and awarding grants is conducted in a transparent manner and includes explicit and clear guidelines for grant applications.
