Community Access to Child Health (CATCH) Program

 “The Community Access to Child Health (CATCH) Program, a national program of the American Academy of Pediatrics, supports pediatricians to collaborate within their communities so that all children have access to needed health services. The program offers planning and implementation grants to individual pediatricians and fellowship trainees to plan innovative community-based child health initiatives that will ensure all children have medical homes and access to healthcare services not otherwise available in their community. Priority is given to projects that will serve communities with the greatest health disparities. Resident grants are available for pediatric residents to plan or implement community-based child health initiatives. The next Call for Proposals will open November 1, 2014; the application deadline is January 31, 2015. Applications must be submitted online.” [Source: NAFC Newsletter]
