2025 Community Research Fair Recap
We’re excited to share that we held our 2025 Community Research Fair on October 22, 2025. At the Research Fair, we discussed three new 2025-2027 Policy Initiatives with partner organizations and community members. We are asking for the community’s support in planning and executing upcoming Rapid Response Projects.
The new Policy Initiatives were developed from community feedback and ideas received at our 2nd Annual Symposium in the spring of this year. These ideas address the toxic legacy of tobacco on indoor and outdoor environments and among youth.
2025-2027 Policy Initiatives

- Outdoor: Expand Prevention of Thirdhand Smoke Exposure in CA Housing
- Youth: Bring “Tobacco and the Environment” Education to California Students
Get Involved
In November, following the Research Fair, we held Team Orientation meetings for those interested in helping with one of our upcoming research projects. During the meetings, we discussed participation in more detail, including available training opportunities, incentives, volunteer hours, and student internships.
