Congratulations to the 2026 recipients of the Fellowship Training Award and Fellowship Training Award for Workforce Expansion!

The Fellowship Training Award supports promising rheumatology fellows at institutions across the U.S., strengthening the pipeline of future rheumatologists. The Fellowship Training Award for Workforce Expansion extends that investment by helping fund previously unfilled ACGME-approved positions due to funding constraints or supporting the creation of new fellowship slots or programs. Together, these awards aim to close the access to care gap in rheumatology. Through these investments, the Foundation is helping develop the next generation of rheumatologists and build a stronger, more accessible rheumatology workforce. Congratulations to this year’s award recipients! Learn more about the awardees in the latest issue of the Foundation Voice.
