National Mesothelioma Virtual Bank for Translational Research (U24): The National Mesothelioma Virtual Bank for Translational Research (NMVB) was established in 2006 to serve as an exceptional resource for mesothelioma research purposes. Published information on the NMVB is available at http://www.mesotissue.org/publications. The purpose of this Funding OpportunityAnnouncement (FOA) is to continue to advance biomedical research for malignant mesothelioma byexpanding the collection of biospecimens, related data, and other information in the NMVB. The NMVB is capable of providing biospecimens (such as fresh frozen tumor and control tissues, paraffin embedded tissues, and blood and DNA samples from mesothelioma patients), together with demographic data (age, sex, race, occupational history and other epidemiologic information), and clinical data (stage, treatment and survival information). Additionally, the virtual registry and tissue bank serves as a virtual repository and offers a library of reagents and data (such as genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data) for sharing among investigators.
