SRNT Membership Types

Full - confers the privileges of voting and holding elective office. Requirements include evidence of scientific training beyond the undergraduate level and at least one peer-reviewed publication on nicotine, tobacco-control, or a related topic.

Affiliate - for those who do not meet the criteria for Full membership, but who have an interest in some aspect of research on nicotine or tobacco-control (e.g., scientific, clinical, public health, policy, regulatory, legislative, and/or advocacy).

Retired - for researchers who have retired from full-time paid employment and who otherwise meet the criteria for "full" membership. Retirees engaging in part-time consulting work or part-time paid employment, totaling no more than 20 hours per week, are eligible for retired member status. Retired members enjoy all rights of full membership.

Student - for people who are enrolled in a full-time training program in a relevant field. To maintain student membership, students/trainees are required to submit verification of full-time student or post-doctoral training status each year with their membership renewal form.

*Effective 5/1/10, SRNT no longer accepts into membership those individuals who are employed by the tobacco industry (defined as tobacco manufacturers, wholesale distributors or importers of tobacco products).
