How will Tobacco Policy Change grantees and staff coordinate with other tobacco control organizations and initiatives?
Program grantees and staff will work closely with other tobacco policy advocacy programs and initiatives both locally and nationally. Many of RJWF’s current grantees working in tobacco control will be providing technical assistance to the program’s grantees after they are selected. In addition, RWJF engages in strategic planning, program development and other collaborative work with leading national tobacco control organizations, including the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Lung Association, American Legacy Foundation, the National Cancer Institute, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office on Smoking and Health.
