Johns Hopkins’ Fogarty work has spanned 10 years
and has been focusing on Capacity Building and

Our definition of research
Our definition of “research” is a broad one since for
tobacco control to be successful we need information
and action in so many different areas.
It is also important to provide information and data on
policy and applied projects as well as surveillance and
evaluation efforts to various groups to support change.
