The HHS Office of Minority Health is seeking to fund projects that implement integrated, community-based models to increase participation of underrepresented populations in lupus clinical trials, from awareness and referral to screening, enrollment, and retention. Their latest funding opportunity will also support outreach, education, and partnerships that sustain participation outcomes that can help reduce lupus-related adverse health outcomes in these populations.

If your organization is working to move beyond lupus awareness, apply by July 10, 2026, 6 p.m. ET, and share this funding opportunity with partners involved with lupus advocacy: https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/362747
