The University of Wisconsin Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention (UW-CTRI) holds a unique place in the tobacco control arena. The Center combines ground-breaking research in smoking cessation with practical application. The result is a national reputation for expertise in the study and treatment of tobacco use and dependence.

Through its federal and foundation grants and its clinical trials, the Center has brought over $26 million into the state of Wisconsin from outside sources. UW-CTRI also provides services to thousands of Wisconsin residents through its outreach program and its Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line, which provides cessation service to anyone anywhere in Wisconsin.
