The Bangladesh Center for Communication Programs (BCCP) has been implementing a Research Grant Program on Tobacco Control in collaboration with the Institute for Global Tobacco Control based at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, USA since 2013. BCCP is now inviting 3rd round proposals from Bangladeshi postgraduate students and researchers. The purpose of the Research Grant is to promote tobacco control research in Bangladesh. Twenty grants will be available this round.

Proposals on generating local evidences that would contribute to developing new policy in line with the Articles of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) or with the components of World Health Organization's MPOWER package are recommended. Any innovative research topic on in-country tobacco control will also be encouraged.

Interested applicants are requested to submit their proposals following the guidelines available at http://www.bangladesh-ccp.org/home/eventsDetails/32. Three hard copies and an electronic version of the proposal in a CD should be submitted to the following address no later than 4:00 p.m. on January 6, 2015.
