The mission of the NTRT is to:
- Promote NIDA nicotine/tobacco research interests, primarily across the Institute and NIH
- Serve as a clearinghouse of information to NIDA staff on timely information related to nicotine and tobacco research (including Tobacco Regulatory Science)
- Inform the substance use research community on NIDA activities relating to nicotine and tobacco
- Assist NIDA management in evaluating the nicotine and tobacco research portfolio
- Identify and support new research programs and directions as they relate to nicotine and tobacco.
Goals of the NTRT include:
- Invite speakers to present at NIDA in a virtual format. Topics would rotate across all areas of research supported by NIDA, including basic neuroscience, behavior, clinical research, therapeutic development, epidemiology, and prevention.
- Provide networking opportunities between NIDA program staff and the nicotine and tobacco research staff of NIH IC’s and other HHS organizations (e.g., NCI, NHLBI, NIAAA, NICHD, FDA, and SAMHSA).
- Meet regularly with NIDA Leadership to discuss the NIDA nicotine & tobacco portfolio, any ongoing issues, and identify gap areas to further explore.
- Plan and conduct Pre-Conference Workshops and/or Symposia Sessions at the SRNT Annual Meeting or other scientifically pertinent meetings, possibly in collaboration with other NIH ICs and/or FDA CTP staff.
- Write and distribute the monthly NTRT Newsletter via Listserv email, which includes recent nicotine, tobacco, and tobacco regulatory science focused information. Content areas include high-profile research publications, changes in tobacco regulation, seminars, meetings, funding opportunities, news from the popular press, and related items.
Membership in the NTRT is open to all NIDA extramural and intramural staff. Currently, membership in NTRT includes staff from across the various Divisions, Offices and Centers at NIDA HQ and NIDA IRP. If you would like to join and/or receive the Nicotine & Tobacco Research Team (NTRT) NEWSLETTER, please contact Flair Lindsey, [email protected].
For questions about the Nicotine and Tobacco Research Team, please contact either of the co-chairs, Flair Lindsey, [email protected], or Heather Kimmel, [email protected].
Core Membership
The Core Group of NTRT Program Staff have much of the nicotine and tobacco portfolio within each of their divisions or have significant other tobacco-related roles at NIDA. They represent a cross section of expertise such as pre-clinical, clinical, drug development, behavior, services, treatment, and epidemiology.
Investigators interested in applying for NIDA research grants pertaining to nicotine and tobacco are encouraged to contact the relevant Program Staff to discuss their proposal in relation to NIDA research priorities. Additionally, investigators can review the NIDA strategic plan, which discusses the Institute's research priorities.
