TraditionalFederal grant

A state research programme established in section 215.5602, Florida Statutes and funded from Florida's tobacco settlement, supporting research on prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cures for tobacco-related cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke and pulmonary disease. Recent priorities include reducing mortality and morbidity among disproportionately affected populations and improving screening accuracy and detection in high-risk groups, which opens room for behavioural, health-services and community-facing research alongside laboratory work. Budget templates are published for project length

Eligibility
A state-appropriated programme for research conducted in Florida; the Department of Health's stated aims include strengthening Florida's academic health centres, so the applicant is normally a Florida research institution or academic health centre rather than a community agency. Detailed eligibility sits in the Funding Opportunity Announcement for the active fiscal year. Applications are uploaded through the Department's portal with a session key retained as proof of submission.
