After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Christine O. Gregoire Youth/Young Adult Award for Outstanding Use of Tobacco Industry Documents

0 comments

This award recognises a person 24 years of age or younger who has made a contribution to the health of the public in the recent past through use of tobacco documents. The award honours innovation in the use and application of tobacco industry documents to improve the public's health and, where applicable, to further the goals of tobacco prevention and control in order to help build a world where young people reject tobacco and anyone can quit. Those nominated should be individuals who have made a notable impact through innovative use of tobacco industry documents as applied to research, policy, or advocacy.


Each recipient will receive a US$7,500 cash award and will attend the awards ceremony at the World Conference on Tobacco or Health to be held October 24-26 in Minneapolis, MN, United States (US).


Nominees must not have any affiliation with the tobacco industry. Each nominee must either have
made a contribution to research, policy, or advocacy with the use of tobacco industry documents and/or have employed innovative, creative approaches to the employment of tobacco industry documents that result in an improvement in the health or public awareness of a community or nation.




The deadline for application is July 11 2007.
