CPTI Opportunities

CPTI Advocacy Training Grants

The CPTI supports 5 pediatric faculty-resident pairs (10 people) to attend the AAP Legislative Conference in Washington, DC each year. Each faculty-resident pair is required to implement an educational activity on child advocacy in coordination with their local AAP chapter following the conference. Local chapters will receive up to $1,000 toward completing the educational activity in conjunction with the faculty-resident pairs. This spring the AAP Legislative Conference will be held from March 30 - April 1, 2008.

The call for proposals is now closed. The results of the review process will be announced in February, 2008. 

CATCH Residency Training Grants Program

The Community Pediatrics Training Initiative (CPTI) is partnering with the Community Access to Child Health (CATCH) Program for the 2nd year to provide a grant opportunity targeting pediatric residency training programs. The mission of this 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.

The call for proposals is now closed. The results of the review process will be announced in March 2008.  Please click here to view the District CATCH Facilitator's Roster.
