The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has been at the vanguard of funding tobacco control research for decades with major efforts such as the Community Intervention Trial for Smoking Cessation (COMMIT) in 1988 and the American Stop Smoking Intervention Study (ASSIST) in 1991, followed by the Tobacco Research Initiative for State and Community Interventions in 1999. Most recently, in 2011, the NCI launched the State and Community Tobacco Control (SCTC) Research Initiative to address gaps in secondhand smoke policies, tax and pricing policies, mass media countermeasures, community and social norms and tobacco marketing. The initiative supported large scale research projects and time-sensitive ancillary pilot studies in response to expressed needs of state and community partners. This special issue of Tobacco Control showcases exciting findings from the SCTC. In this introductory article, we provide a brief account of NCI's historical commitment to promoting research to inform tobacco control policy.
几十年来，美国国家癌症研究所（NCI）一直处于资助烟草控制研究的前沿，开展了多项重大工作，如1988年的戒烟社区干预试验（COMMIT）和1991年的美国戒烟干预研究（ASSIST），随后在1999年开展了州和社区干预烟草研究倡议。最近，在2011年，NCI发起了州和社区烟草控制（SCTC）研究倡议，以填补二手烟政策、税收和定价政策、大众媒体应对措施、社区和社会规范以及烟草营销方面的空白。该倡议支持大规模研究项目和针对州和社区合作伙伴明确需求的时效性辅助试点研究。本期《烟草控制》特刊展示了SCTC的令人兴奋的研究成果。在这篇介绍性文章中，我们简要介绍了NCI在促进研究以指导烟草控制政策方面的历史承诺。
