Description
1) Objective
The Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use Grants Program is an important component of the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use. With funds from Michael R. Bloomberg, through his charitable foundation Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Grants Program is competitive and supports projects to develop and deliver high-impact evidence-based tobacco control interventions.
Proposals must focus on achieving policy change that will lead to substantial reductions in tobacco use. Priority will be given to projects that lead to sustainable improvements in tobacco control laws, regulations, policies at the national or sub-national level (e.g. provinces, states, and cities), including (but not restricted to):
• Tax and price measures, including illicit trade policy in relation to taxation.
• Direct and indirect advertising bans (including promotion and sponsorship)
• Establishment of smoke-free legislation for public places and workplaces
• Policies for graphic warning labels on tobacco products
• FCTC Article 5.3 policy (this must be in association with strengthening MPOWER policies).
2) Eligibility
Governmental and non-governmental organizations based in eligible countries can apply for grants: Governmental organizations include, but are not limited to, national Ministries, state/provincial authorities and affiliate offices; Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with relevant advocacy experience aimed at changing or implementing policies; and Universities and independent policy institutes (‘think tanks’).
3) Location
The Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco use Grants Program utilizes World Bank country income groups to establish eligibility to apply for a grant. Organizations from low- and middle-income countries are welcome to apply. This includes low-income, lower-middle-income, and upper-middle-income countries. Initiative places a priority on countries with the greatest number of tobacco users. These are: China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Vietnam, Philippines, Brazil, Ukraine and Mexico.
4) Budget
Proposals can be submitted for grants from US$50,000 up to US$250,000 per year. Project proposals between six and twenty-four months will be considered.
