CATCH
Residency Training Grants Program
The Community Pediatrics Training Initiative (CPTI) partners with the Community Access to Child Health (CATCH) Program to provide this grant opportunity targeting pediatric residency training programs. The mission of the program is to provide support to residency programs to build sustainable opportunities for residents to gain experience working on community-based child health initiatives that increase access to medical homes or specific health services not otherwise available. Grants of up to $12,000 will be awarded on a competitive basis to pediatric residency programs which submit proposals to plan and implement community-based child health initiatives as part of the training curriculum over the course of 16 months. A pediatric faculty member must oversee the project and provide mentorship for residents participating in project activities.
*Please note this is a different program than CATCH Resident Funds, which are available to Pediatric Residents to plan and/or implement a community-based child health project. Please see the CATCH Resident Funds Page for more information on this program.
