Profile
Dr. Giovino is Principal Investigator of two
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) funded studies; the
first is a survey on national patterns of youth smoking cessation
and the second is a national survey of US adult smokers to
assess “hardcore” smoking and interest in tobacco
harm reduction. He also heads the tobacco team for the ImpacTeen
component of the RWJF-funded Bridging the Gap project. He is a Co-Investigator on the Roswell Park Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center P50 Grant, "Building the Evidence Base for Tobacco Control Policy" and of another NIH grant on Low-Ignition Propensity Cigarette Legislation. Giovino
was one of the chairs of the National Tobacco Monitoring,
Research, and Evaluation Workshop, which was co-sponsored
by the National Cancer Institute, American Legacy Foundation,
CDC, and RWJF. He is a member of the New York State Tobacco Use Prevention and Control Program Advisory Board. He recently received the Joseph W. Cullen Memorial Award from the American Society of Preventive Oncology, an Innovators Combating
Substance Abuse Award from RWJF, the Doll/Wynder Award for
research in tobacco epidemiology from the Society for Research
on Nicotine and Tobacco, and the CDC's Charles C. Shepard
Science Award for Outstanding Scientific Contribution to Public
Health.
Research Interests
Dr. Giovino's research interests focus on patterns, determinants,
consequences, and control of tobacco use; which are part of
a more general focus on disease prevention and health promotion. For most of his ten years of service at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, Dr. Giovino served as the Chief of
the Epidemiology Branch in the Office on Smoking and Health.
He subsequently served as Senior Research Scientist at the Roswell Park
Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York.
