Improving Protection against Influenza and Other Respiratory Pathogens: the US Flu VE NetworkThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking applicants to sustain and expand the US Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Network, which aims to generate critical data on the effectiveness of influenza and other respiratory pathogen vaccines across all age groups. The initiative requires proposing work under four interconnected components: annual vaccine effectiveness and correlates of protection surveillance through active outpatient enrollment and systematic pathogen testing; electronic surveillance for acute respiratory illness and vaccine effectiveness; household transmission research; and immunogenicity studies. Applicants must apply for either Component A or Component B, but not both, with the option to add Component C or D as supplementary proposals. Component A focuses on direct surveillance and is anticipated to fund up to five sites at $1,800,000 annually, while Component B supports coordination and surge capacity with one site funded at the same level. Optional Component C, focused on household transmission, may be awarded to up to two Component A sites at $100,000 annually, and optional Component D for immunogenicity research may be granted to up to three sites from either Component A or B at $750,000 annually. The opportunity is open through a forecasted notice issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, with point of contact information provided for inquiries.

Expanded Surveillance for Pediatric Infectious DiseasesThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking U.S. institutions to establish a national network for standardized, active surveillance of pediatric acute respiratory illness and acute gastroenteritis in healthcare settings. The core requirement involves monitoring pediatric patients in inpatient and emergency department environments for these conditions, following CDC-established protocols, and using molecular assays to confirm viral causes. The primary goal is to generate reliable estimates of the effectiveness of existing prevention tools such as vaccines for influenza, rotavirus, and respiratory syncytial virus, while also capturing data on hospitalization rates and disease progression. Institutions may optionally extend surveillance to outpatient clinics and conduct additional research on immune responses to infection and immunization. Data collected will directly inform public health strategies, improve clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines, and support evidence-based recommendations for prevention products. The initiative aims to reduce the burden of viral illnesses on children and the healthcare system by enhancing understanding of disease patterns and intervention impacts. The funding opportunity, titled Expanded Surveillance for Pediatric Infectious Diseases, was posted on July 28, 2026, with applications managed through CDC and directed to Jamal Bankhead at the Department of Health and Human Services.

Early Detection, Response, and Control of Global Rabies Outbreaks and Associated Threats to America's Dog-Rabies Free StatusThis funding opportunity supports research aimed at developing and implementing technology-driven, cost-effective tools to reduce the global burden of human rabies and advance progress toward eliminating canine rabies, particularly in high-burden countries. Key research priorities include electronic systems for tracking vaccinations in humans and dogs, improving the management of human rabies exposure investigations, strengthening laboratory information systems for rabies, modeling the economic impact of dog-mediated rabies interventions, and estimating populations of rabies-susceptible dogs. The goal is to generate data-driven strategies that enhance surveillance, response, and control capabilities to protect public health and prevent the re-emergence of rabies in regions like the United States, which currently maintains a dog-rabies-free status. The notice, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the Department of Health and Human Services, is posted with a forecast date of July 27, 2026, and is open to applicants focused on global rabies control. Point of contact for inquiries is Robert Brian York, reachable via email or phone, and additional information is available through the grants.gov portal. While no specific set-aside or NAICS code is provided, the initiative is aligned with public health objectives to prevent rabies transmission and support international efforts toward eradication by leveraging innovative, scalable technologies.

Pilot Testing, Implementation, and Evaluation of the Cervical, Breast and Colorectal Cancer Clinical Decision Support ToolsThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking proposals to pilot test, implement, and evaluate clinical decision support tools for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening and management. The initiative targets large health systems and aims to integrate computable, evidence-based guidelines directly into electronic health record systems to improve clinician decision-making at the point of care. Component A focuses on full-scale implementation and rigorous evaluation of an existing cervical cancer CDS tool, with emphasis on increasing guideline-concordant screening and ensuring timely follow-up after abnormal results. Component B involves the technical integration and empirical evaluation of interoperable CDS tools for breast and colorectal cancer, requiring documentation of the implementation process and measurement of tool accuracy and real-world impact. Both components build on previously developed CDC algorithms and require applicants to demonstrate robust assessment methods for effectiveness and adoption within operational healthcare environments. Proposals must align with CDC’s goal of advancing equitable, data-driven cancer prevention strategies across diverse clinical settings.

NIOSH Robotics and Intelligent Mining Technology and Workplace Safety Research (U60)This contract, titled NIOSH Robotics and Intelligent Mining Technology and Workplace Safety Research (U60), aims to fund applied research that develops field-ready automation, robotics, and intelligent systems to enhance safety and health in U.S. mining operations. Despite a historic low in injury rates, persistent risks remain in emergency communication, self-escape under low-visibility conditions, and refuge performance, especially with ongoing incidents involving powered-haulage, machinery, roof and rib failures, and pressure-vessel events. The initiative seeks technologies that ensure assured autonomy—systems that operate safely without compromising productivity—by improving situational awareness through advanced sensors, AI, data fusion, and decision-support tools. Research must focus on practical implementation, including human-centered design, training protocols, safety evaluation methods, and technologies for miner-rescue and post-disaster surveillance. Eligibility is strictly limited to U.S. academic institutions that offer both an ABET-accredited undergraduate program in mining or mineral engineering and graduate programs in both mining engineering and explosives engineering. Applicants are expected to align their proposals with the Miner Health Program’s 2020–2030 Strategic Agenda and must clearly articulate specific goals tied to documented safety burdens, supported by data on mortality, morbidity, and at-risk populations. Leveraging existing mining and explosives-engineering research facilities is encouraged, and proposals must demonstrate how their solutions will reduce hazardous exposures and improve overall miner well-being. The funding opportunity is administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the Department of Health and Human Services, with point of contact Maria Lioce, MD, overseeing scientific program direction.
