Learn about our grant opportunities

CPTI believes all pediatricians should be equipped with the skills necessary to engage in evidence-based community health activities and effective collaborations to achieve optimal well-being for children.  As trusted voices, pediatricians can communicate the issues children are facing; mobilize families, doctors, other health professionals, and communities to work collaboratively for children; and make positive changes that impact the health and well-being of children in their communities. These funding opportunities provide resources to assist in achieving those goals.

Advocacy Training Grants

These annual grants allow for 4 faculty-resident pairs to attend the AAP Advocacy Conference as well as seed money to apply to a project designed to improve the community advocacy curriculum at their academic institution.

Visiting Professorship Awards

This annual program provides up to 5 accredited pediatric residency programs with a maximum of $4,500 each to implement a 2- or 3-day community health and advocacy educational program focusing on resident education, faculty development and community partnerships.

While the annual awards are made possible through Rome Endowment, other visiting professorships are available from time to time based on available funding sources.

It is important to consider your goals, and where you are in your career, to find the grant best suited for you.
