About this opportunity
This Notice of Funding Opportunity from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health seeks applicants to implement outreach and education interventions to increase enrollment of racial and ethnic minorities in lupus-related clinical trials. Eligible applicants include tribal governments, nonprofits, local and state governments, and higher education institutions. Applications are due by August 1, 2023 and will be evaluated based on proposed interventions' ability to advance clinical trial diversity and reduce lupus-related health disparities. Recipients will be expected to sustain increased enrollment of racial and ethnic minorities in lupus-related clinical trials through outreach and education interventions, and public-private and community partnerships.
Award amounts and performance locations are not specified. However, the funding opportunity is assigned to the Community Programs to Improve Minority Health Grant Program under CFDA number 93.137, which supports evidence-based public and private interventions and innovative models through the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health to improve health outcomes in racial and ethnic minority communities.
Synopsis
The HHS Office of Minority Health (OMH) anticipates funding projects to demonstrate the effectiveness of interventions for increasing racial and ethnic minority enrollment and retention in lupus-related clinical trials. Projects are intended to identify and sustain effective interventions that advance clinical trial diversity and to ultimately result in reduced lupus-related health disparities experienced by racial and ethnic minority populations. Black women are three times more likely to develop lupus than their White counterparts, with Hispanic, Asian, and Native American populations also at an increased risk for developing lupus. African Americans account for 43% of all lupus cases, but African American enrollment in lupus clinical trials stands at 14%. Without enrollment in clinical trials that reflect the patient population the drug is intended to treat, a drug may be less effective or not effective at treating the disease in a large number of patients. Increasing minority participation in lupus clinical trials is important for addressing lupus-related racial and ethnic health disparities. Recipients will be expected to sustain increased enrollment of racial and ethnic minorities in lupus-related clinical trials through outreach and education interventions, and public-private and community partnerships. Recipients also will assess the impact of project findings by implementing a process and outcomes evaluation for dissemination to diverse stakeholders.
