Kudos to Isaac Lipkus, professor, and his entire team for the submission of their subcontract proposal to the University of Georgia (UGA) on their NIH R01 application entitled: "Dyadic Processes in Support and Quitting in Single and Dual Smoker Couples." This proposal requests funding for a four year period with a start date of July 1, 2021.

Lipkus will help devise the recruitment strategies to obtain couples for the study. This will include exploration of recruitment venues and crafting of ads. In addition during year one, Lipkus will help with methodological details, such as which and how to assess theoretical concepts as well as be involved in discussions as to how these constructs theoretically should inform dyadic processes related to smoking cessation. He will be part of study conference calls that take place, help to evaluate study related materials as appropriate as well as attend any on-campus meeting at UGA to discuss the study.
