For the 15th consecutive year, the American Academy of Pediatrics is offering pediatricians an opportunity to put their ideas into action by taking advantage of the funding available through the CATCH Program. A pediatrician or pediatric resident must lead the project and be involved in the proposal development and project activities.
CATCH Planning Funds
Grants are provided in amounts from $2,500 to $12,000 for pediatricians to plan innovative, community-based projects to increase children's access to health care and address health disparities among children. The Planning Funds area of the CATCH Web site has more details on this program. http://www.aap.org/catch/planninggrants.htm
CATCH Resident Funds
Grants of up to $3,000 are available for pediatric residents to work with local communities to ensure that all children, especially underserved children, have medical homes and access to any needed health care services. More information is available at the Resident Funds area of the CATCH Web site. http://www.aap.org/catch/residentgrants.htm
Join more than 950 pediatricians who, through their CATCH projects, have learned that local child health problems can be solved locally, often using local resources.
One pediatrician can make a difference!
The 2008 Call for Proposals and Application is now available online at: http://www.aap.org/commpeds/CPTI/Opportunities.htm.
