Notes of Fundamental Research work
In March 1987 the fundamental research programme in So was
formulated at a Research Review attended by Drs Dunn, Massey and other
CAC research directors. The 12 million funding from CAC comcaries
supported 23 I nteroa I man years of 'professional' scientific effort
plus technical support. It was agreed that 40% of the total effort
should be on research on regulatory authority Issues and 60'. on
product quality research. The former area was of particular interest
to ITL and included work on reducing smoke noxae, developing @ioassays
and environmental 'tobacco smoke (ETS). Product quality research was
or par- icu la Interest to Brown & Williamson and included Smoke
sensory research and cigarette physical properties.
At the end of 1987, 431. of the total internal professional ef".,,rts had
been devoted Lo regulatory issues research.
In earl it 1988 the total Internal professional effort was to
?7 man years due to Project GREENDOT. This project was essertia'

regulatory issues and much of the effort needed for it was taken f rom
product quality research. For the whole of 1988, 89% of the total
effort was for re Cj I a to ry Issues research.
During 1989 there was almost no product quality research done.
virtually all the work was aimed at regulatory Issues. Thus si-,;-.-@
Mdrch 1987 the work has evolved almost entirely to the type r,f .fork Of

not enthusiastic about this type of work. However, its
inclusion puts pro d quality research back into the wur<
programme. The proposed work is aimed very much at the sensory
asDects of low tar products and the exact work will be discussed
at a meeting of CAC scientists on 25th Apri 1990.
Instigation or a project area on tobacco and smoke chemistry of
!irnoking materials. This work area is aimed predominantly ai
regulatory authority requirements for new processes etc.
Proposals for this work area will be discussed by CAC scientists
on 26th April 1990.
In 8dj I Li oil, it was proposed that a new Materials Science Section
should be formed. This section would bring together related worx from
areas on souke noxae. Project GREENDOT etc. as well as opening uo new
areas. Specific proposals for this work area will be circulated in
late April following general agreement at the Research Review.
