The GRN in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) organised a webinar on ‘Global Tobacco Control Research: Research Opportunities and Capacity Building in LMICs’ on 13 September 2022. Dr Mark Parascandola, Branch Chief for Research and Training, NCI and Dr Marie D Ricciardone, Program Officer, NCI, speakers at the webinar, provided an overview of the US NCI’s global tobacco control research programs and future directions in the area of tobacco control research. Furthermore, they informed the participants about open funding calls/announcements in global tobacco control and health research and capacity building opportunities for LMIC researchers. The webinar content is available on the SRNT-U website.
