Summer Hawkins receives grant from NCI and FDA's Center for Tobacco Products

Summer Hawkins, an associate professor, has received a two-year, $430,000 grant from the National Cancer Institute and the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Tobacco Products to study how state policies that restrict the sale of flavored tobacco products affect tobacco use among people 14 to 24.

Hawkins and her collaborators plan to share their findings with CTP, which regulates the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products to protect public health. They hope their study will inform the development of new policies that limit tobacco use among young people.
