Opportunity Summary:
The 2009 Eliminating Disparities in Lupus through Education and Training for Health Professionals (EDLET/HP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number MP MPC 09 009) was a discretionary federal health grant administered through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Office of Minority Health (OMH), under authority provided by 42 U.S.C. 300u-6, Section 1707 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. The central aim of the program was to reduce disparities in lupus outcomes by improving early diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management for populations disproportionately impacted by lupus, specifically in ways tied to race, ethnicity, and gender. In practice, the opportunity focused on strengthening the clinical readiness of health professionals so lupus is recognized earlier, handled more consistently, and managed more effectively in communities where delayed diagnosis and uneven care contribute to worse outcomes.
The program’s strategy was built around three connected deliverables. First, the funded organization was expected to form a consortium that would help guide and inform the effort, essentially creating an expert and stakeholder structure to shape program direction, ensure relevance to high-disparity populations, and support broader credibility and adoption. Second, the applicant was expected to work directly with medical school leadership to expand and improve medical education curricula, with the specific goal of increasing the depth and completeness of lupus coverage in training programs. Third, the applicant needed to develop, test, and disseminate practical educational tools and curricula designed to improve both knowledge and clinical practices among health care professionals. The emphasis on testing before dissemination indicates OMH wanted more than static educational materials; the program was designed to produce training resources that had been piloted, refined, and shown to work in real-world settings.
A key operational requirement was that the curriculum and training products be delivered across multiple learning environments rather than relying on a single training channel. The announcement explicitly called for delivery in varied settings such as medical professional meetings, online formats, webinars, and satellite-based options. This multi-platform approach was meant to increase reach, make training accessible to busy clinicians, and support broader geographic penetration. The target audience for the training was wide across the health workforce, including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and other health care professionals who play roles in recognition, referral, diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of lupus. The funded organization was also expected to collaborate with recommended entities (not specified in the excerpt, but typically these could include academic institutions, professional societies, patient advocacy organizations, or other relevant partners) to meet the program priorities.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $1,600,000. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $1,600,000, signaling an intent to make one fixed-size award rather than multiple smaller awards or a range of award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type was listed as a grant, and the activity category was health. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 93.004, titled Cooperative Agreements to Improve the Health Status of Minority Populations, which reflects the broader mission of OMH even though the instrument type here is identified as a grant in the listing.
Timing details show the announcement was posted June 17, 2009, with an original closing date of July 17, 2009, later extended to July 24, 2009. The opportunity was archived August 23, 2009. Eligibility was broadly labeled as “Others,” with instructions to consult the full announcement for clarification, and the excerpted listing did not provide additional eligibility detail beyond stating “EligibilityInformation: none.” For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the contact pathway referenced the Grants.gov Contact Center, including phone and email support, indicating applications were expected to be managed through standard federal electronic submission channels and deadlines were governed by the full announcement’s submission instructions.
