From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco, "serves as a focal point for a broad range of research, education, and public service activities for 46 faculty in 11 departments and all 4 schools at UCSF, as well as colleagues at UC Berkeley and UC Merced."[1] It is part of the UCSF Cardiovascular Research Institute. The Center's director and principal investigator is Stanton Glantz, a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology at UCSF.[2]

In 2013, the Center received a five-year, $20 million grant from the new Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science (TCORS) program under the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), one of 14 US institutions funded to develop a science-based approach to tobacco regulation.[2]
