The Fellowship Training Award for Workforce Expansion may be used to support the salary of any fellow in an ACGME-accredited rheumatology fellowship training program meeting any of the criteria below:
• Program has been unable to fill all its ACGME-approved slots due to funding constraints,
• An existing program that is creating a new slot,

Applicant (Program Director) must be an ACR or ARP member at the time of submission and for the duration of the award.
Only Program Directors at ACGME-accredited institutions in good standing may apply.
The rheumatology fellowship training Program Director at the institution will be responsible for the overall direction, management and administration of the program.
By submitting an application, the Program Director and sponsoring institution agree funds will be used for salary support of one fellow in their first or second year (or third year fellow in pediatric rheumatology). The name of the fellow supported during the grant period will be requested to be provided in your final award report.
Multiple applications from a single institution will not be permitted unless they are for separate training programs (e.g. adult and pediatric rheumatology).
Programs may not apply for the Fellowship Training Award and the Fellowship Training Award for Workforce Expansion within the same application cycle.
The FTA WE and FTA are multi-year awards [two years for adult and three years for pediatric]. A program can only apply in a new award cycle, if the current award is complete, or in its final year.
If there is no fellow available to appoint to this award between July 1, 2026, and June 30, 2027, the recipient may request a one-year deferral.
