The Office of Disease Prevention and participating ICOs are issuing this Notice to communicate our interest in research on electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). Research on alternative nicotine and tobacco delivery systems [e.g., heated tobacco products (also called heat-not-burn)] will also be considered. Research with a focus on other non-combustible nicotine and tobacco products will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Studies should examine population-based, clinical, and applied prevention of disease, including etiology and epidemiology of use, potential risks, benefits and impacts on other tobacco use behavior among different populations. Studies exclusively examining smokeless tobacco or combustible tobacco products (e.g., cigarettes, cigars) will be considered non-responsive.
