Pediatrician Can Make a Difference
The Community Access to Child Health (CATCH) program supports pediatricians who work with communities to ensure that all children have medical homes and access to other needed health care services. CATCH provides training, technical assistance, peer support, networking opportunities and funding opportunities for project development. The program offers funding up to $12,000 to pediatricians and up to $3,000 to pediatric residents to plan or implement a community project. Applications for CATCH implementation grants are received November through January. Applications for CATCH planning grants are accepted May through July. Resident grant applications are accepted November through January and May through July. For more information, please visit www.aap.org/catch.
CATCH Resident Funds Program
Deadline: July 31, 2008
2009 Cycle 1 CATCH Resident Funds Grants
The Community Access To Child Health (CATCH) Resident Funds program supports pediatric residents in the planning of community-based child health initiatives. Grants of up to $3,000 will be awarded on a competitive basis for pediatric residents to address the health care needs of children in their communities. Resident grant projects must include planning activities, but also may include minimal implementation activities. Priority is given to projects that will be serving communities with the greatest health disparities. A pediatric resident must lead the project and be involved in the proposal development and project activities.

CATCH Project Archive
The AAP developed a grant/project database that archives
previously funded Community Pediatrics grant projects, including
those funded through the CATCH Program, the Healthy Tomorrows
Partnership for Children Program, the Community Pediatrics
Training Initiative and the Healthy People 2010 Chapter
Grants. The database
is searchable by seven major categories: target population,
health topic, state/territory, project activity, AAP program,
AAP district, and project year. By searching this database
through the Member Center, you can obtain contact information
of the grantees.
