note = "Funding Information: The ACR has pledged to be a leader in the effort to eliminate bias and reduce health disparities ( 12 ). One way it is doing this is through the Collaborative Initiatives, or COIN, department within the College. COIN began as a project simply called The Lupus Initiative in 2009 ( 13 ). Since that time, it has received over 21 million dollars in grant funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health, the Office of Women's Health, and other support. These 30 grants and contracts have led to the creation of a phenomenal catalog of programs aimed at educating health care providers about implicit bias and health care disparity, helping community members understand the issues facing people with chronic rheumatic conditions such as lupus, and tackling the tough problem of including more minority participants in clinical research. This has been a team effort, with 7 full‐time staff members and over 90 ACR volunteers involved in the creation and dissemination of these programs. In addition to systemic lupus erythematosus, COIN initiatives have addressed osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and lupus nephritis. Figure 5 shows some of the current COIN projects and places where they have been implemented. ",
