Profile
Dr. Giovino was 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 is a Co-Investigator on two R01’s funding the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project and on another NIH grant on Low-Ignition Propensity Cigarette Legislation. He Chairs the Questionnaire Review Committee and is a member of the Analysis Review Committee of the Global Adult Tobacco Survey. 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 recently received the Craig Ryder Memorial Award from the New York State Department of Health, 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. 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.
