CATCH
GRANTS NOW AVAILABLE IN AMOUNTS UP TO $12,000The 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. Planning project activities must lead to sustainable, community-based
child health initiatives that increase access to care, especially for underserved
children, and address health disparities among children. 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

CATCH staff also is available to assist you. Contact your CATCH Program Coordinator, at catch@aap.org.
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 CATCH staff. Please send this information no later than July 1, 2008.
The
CATCH Planning Funds program is administered by the AAP CATCH Program and is supported
by a grant from Wyeth, with additional support from
individual donations through the AAP Friends of Children
Fund.
