Intro: At its Board Meeting on Wednesday,
November 14, the Board of Directors of ClearWay Minnesota approved 11
grants for new research on topics ranging from the Freedom to Breathe Act's
impact on young adults to interventions that reduce tobacco use and
secondhand smoke exposure among Chicano Latino youth and African
immigrants. ClearWay Minnesota will award more than $2.8 million to
Minnesota researchers through these grants, which bring ClearWay
Minnesota's total expenditures on competitive research grants to more than
$14.5 million since 1998.
"These new grant awards show our continuing commitment to innovative
research that shapes our work to reduce tobacco's harm," said David
Willoughby, ClearWay Minnesota's Chief Executive Officer. "This significant
investment in research will pay healthy dividends for Minnesotans well into
the future."
