The Community Access To Child Health (CATCH) Planning Funds program provides grants in amounts from $2,500 to $12,000 for pediatricians to develop innovative, community-based initiatives that increase children's access to medical homes or to specific health services not otherwise available. Resident CATCH grants also are available but are limited to a maximum of $3,000 (please see CATCH Resident Funds for more information).

Contact your Chapter CATCH Facilitator to discuss your ideas for a CATCH grant project and to obtain assistance with proposal development. Click here for contact information.

CATCH would like to show you how easy it is to get assistance with proposal development. Please send a brief paragraph describing the idea for your project to catch@aap.org, and you will receive help from your Chapter CATCH Facilitator and/or your CATCH program coordinator.
