Opportunity Information: Apply for MP CPI 21 005
The National Lupus Outreach and Clinical Trial Education Program is a FY 2021 discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) and administered by the Office of Minority Health (OMH). The program is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 300u-6, Section 1707 of the Public Health Service Act, which supports demonstration-style initiatives intended to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequities. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to fund projects that expand lupus-related outreach and strengthen public and patient education around clinical trials, with an emphasis on communities that experience persistent disparities in health outcomes and access to care.
OMH frames the purpose of this funding around its broader mission: improving the health of racial and ethnic minority populations by developing and supporting policies and programs that help eliminate health disparities. The grant is positioned as a demonstration grant, meaning it is meant to support approaches that can be tested, shown to work, and then shared and sustained beyond the initial funding period. In other words, OMH is looking not only for activities that reach people in the short term, but also for strategies that can be replicated, scaled, or institutionalized so that effective lupus outreach and clinical trial education continues after the grant ends.
This opportunity is explicitly aligned with OASH priorities focused on reducing health disparities and with HHS Strategic Goal 4, which emphasizes fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences. That alignment signals that OMH is interested in projects that do more than general awareness raising; they should also support participation in research and strengthen understanding of clinical trials as part of advancing scientific knowledge and improving care. Because lupus can be complex, chronic, and unevenly diagnosed and treated, especially across different racial and ethnic groups, the program’s focus on education and outreach suggests an intent to address barriers such as limited access to accurate information, mistrust or uncertainty about research participation, and gaps in culturally and linguistically appropriate engagement.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Title (National Lupus Outreach and Clinical Trial Education Program) and Funding Opportunity Number MP-CPI-21-005. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health, listed under CFDA 93.137. The awarding agency is HHS, OASH, with OMH leading the programmatic intent. The application window opened with a creation date of April 26, 2021, and the original closing date was June 29, 2021. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $500,000, and OMH anticipated making approximately 6 awards, indicating a competitive program with a limited number of sizable grants rather than many small awards.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as “Others,” with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the opportunity’s text field titled “Additional Information on Eligibility.” That wording typically means applicants would need to consult the full notice to confirm which organization types qualify (for example, certain nonprofits, community-based organizations, academic institutions, health systems, or other entities that can credibly carry out outreach and education efforts). Overall, the grant supports targeted, evidence-informed lupus outreach and clinical trial education efforts that aim to reduce disparities and contribute to stronger, more inclusive participation in the scientific and clinical research landscape.Apply for MP CPI 21 005
