The SVFSIP is mobilizing a new generation of tobacco control researchers and advocates to enact change in their communities.
Students will spend one year working with a research mentor on an individual prevention or treatment research project, including work with a community-based tobacco control specialist on a local advocacy project for a year. Scholars will receive structured education through a research class and weekly seminars and workshops on tobacco control topics and professional development, and receive academic advising, networking, and career guidance.
