The National Mesothelioma Virtual Bank (NMVB) was established in 2006 to serve as a resource for malignant mesothelioma research. This funding opportunity will advance biomedical research for malignant mesothelioma by adding more biospecimens together with demographic data and clinical data.

Examples of biospecimens include fresh frozen tumor and control tissues, paraffin embedded tissues, blood, DNA, RNA, and protein samples from mesothelioma patients. Demographic data includes age, sex, race, and occupational history. Clinical data includes stage, treatment, and survival information.

The virtual registry and tissue bank also serve as a virtual repository and offer a library of biospecimens and data that investigators can use and share, including genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data.

The NMVB can:

Help identify early signs of disease.
Support the development of biomarkers that show disease stage and prognosis.
Help develop new or improved treatment options.

The goal is to continue to expand the NMVB and improve its ability to be a resource for both biomedical researchers and the clinical science community focused on malignant mesothelioma research.

Rigorously Evaluating Approaches to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse and Problematic Sexual Behavior among YouthThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control is seeking investigator-initiated research proposals to rigorously evaluate programs and policies aimed at the primary prevention of child sexual abuse and problematic sexual behavior among youth under 18. Child sexual abuse is defined as sexual victimization by an adult, while problematic sexual behavior refers to developmentally inappropriate sexual actions by youth that may cause harm, whether intentional or not. The research must focus on one of three priorities: prevention efforts targeting digital spaces such as the creation or distribution of explicit imagery involving children, initiatives addressing the use of digital platforms for commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking of minors, or organizational policies within youth-serving settings like schools, foster care, faith-based groups, and community centers designed to prevent abuse and harmful behaviors. The goal is to build a strong evidence base for effective primary prevention strategies that can be widely implemented. All proposals must meet gold standard research criteria to ensure rigorous evaluation, and applicants are expected to design studies that can demonstrate measurable impact and scalability. The funding opportunity is open to researchers and institutions capable of conducting high-quality, independent evaluations, with no set-asides specified. Interested parties can direct inquiries to Dr. Candis M. Hunter via the provided contact information. The announcement was posted on July 10, 2026, and prospective applicants are encouraged to review the full solicitation through the official grants portal for detailed submission guidelines and requirements.
