TOBACCO ABUSE AND NICOTINE ADDICTION
The coalition of funding partners for the strategic initiative "Advancing
the Science to Reduce Tobacco Abuse and Nicotine Addiction" launched in June
2003 is proud to announce the successful applicants for the April 2004
competition.
A total of $5 million over the years 2004/2009 has been awarded to 18
successful teams of 77 investigators. This is the largest sum of grants
given to tobacco abuse and nicotine addiction research in Canada in a single
strategic initiative announcement.
The initiative is enabled by a partnership of:
- Canadian Institutes of Health Research (represented by the Institutes of
Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction; Cancer Research; Aboriginal
Peoples' Health; Circulatory and Respiratory Health; Gender and Health; and
Human Development, Child and Youth Health)
- Canadian Cancer Society
- National Cancer Institute of Canada
- Health Canada
- Heart and Stroke Foundation
- The Lung Association in partnership with l'Association pulmonaire du
Québec
The partnership is coordinated by the Canadian Tobacco Control Research
Initiative (CTCRI).
We would like to acknowledge the effort of all grantees in bringing new
investigators and trainees to tobacco research. For one third of grantees in
current competitions this is their first success in CTCRI programs. Among
them are: Lynne Baillie, British Columbia Cancer Agency; Andrea Jurisicova,
Mount Sinai Hospital and Louise Winn, Queen's University.
We congratulate all research teams and wish them success in their work!

TABAGISME ET LA DÉPENDANCE À LA NICOTINE
La coalition des organismes responsables du financement de l'initiative
stratégique intitulée Faire progresser les connaissances scientifiques en
vue de réduire le tabagisme et la dépendance à la nicotine, qui a été lancée
en juin 2003, est fière d'annoncer les gagnants du concours tenu en avril
2004.
Entre 2004 et 2009, dix-huit équipes gagnantes regroupant 77 chercheurs se
partageront 5 millions de dollars. Il s'agit du plus important montant
accordé en subventions à la recherche sur le tabagisme et la dépendance à la
nicotine au Canada dans un seul concours d'une initiative stratégique.
Cette initiative est rendue possible par un partenariat entre
- les Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (Institut des neurosciences,
de la santé mentale et des toxicomanies, Institut du cancer, Institut de
recherche sur la santé des Autochtones, Institut de la santé circulatoire
et respiratoire, Institut de la santé des hommes et des femmes, Institut du
développement et de la santé des enfants et des adolescents)
- la Société canadienne du cancer
- l'Institut national du cancer du Canada
- Santé Canada
- la Fondation des maladies du coeur du Canada
- l'Association pulmonaire du Canada en partenariat avec l'Association
pulmonaire du Québec
La coordination des activités de ce partenariat est assurée par l'Initiative
canadienne de recherche pour la lutte contre le tabagisme (ICRCT).
L'ICRCT désire souligner les efforts déployés par tous les bénéficiaires de
subventions pour attirer de nouveaux chercheurs et des stagiaires vers la
recherche sur le tabagisme. Pour le tiers des gagnants de la compétition en
cours, c'est la première fois qu'ils obtiennent une subvention de l'ICRCT.
En font partie Lynne Baillie, de la British Columbia Cancer Agency, Andrea
Jurisicova du Mount Sinai Hospital et Louise Winn de la Queen's University.
L'ICRCT félicite toutes les équipes de chercheurs et leur souhaite bon
