FAMRI has two award programs:

Clinical Innovator Awards Program
The Clinical Innovator Awards (CIA) Program was established to stimulate novel medical and clinical scientific research studies on the topic of second hand tobacco smoke.

Young Clinical Scientist Awards Program
The purpose of the FAMRI Young Clinical Scientist Award (YCSA) Program is to help prepare and support new clinical investigators with a MD or PhD as they begin their careers as independent researchers. The program is limited to the development of young researchers in smoking-related disorders. There are two types of YCSA Awards; one for individuals who are currently faculty members, or who expect to be before the start date of the award (YCSA faculty), and one for individuals who do not expect to become faculty until after the start date of the award (YCSA fellow). Questions or problems regarding the use of this Web site should be submitted to famri@aibs.org.
