Congratulations to all the awardees and best
wishes for success!
The Community Access to Child Health (CATCH)
Planning Funds program provides grants in amounts from $2,500 to
$12,000 for pediatricians to plan innovative, community-based
initiatives that increase children’s access to medical homes or
specific health services not otherwise available. There are
now two cycles per year, the first having Planning and the first
cycle of Resident grants, and the second having Implementation and
the second cycle of Resident grants. All CATCH grants
are awarded on a competitive basis.
The CATCH program
is now 16 years old.
The CATCH
Implementation Grants support pediatricians in the initial
and/or pilot stage of developing and implementing a
community-based child health initiative.
The new applications for all CATCH grants are available
online only
through the AAP Members Only Channel,
where you can also lookup all previously awarded CATCH grants.
The
Call for Proposals for The
2011 AAP CATCH
Planning Funds grant cycle is now in progress;
applications are due January 31, 2011. For
more information and to access the online application,
please go to:

Grants), or
http://www.aap.org/catch/residentgrants.htm (Resident
Grants)
Also posted is the 2010
CATCH Implementation Funds Call for Proposals http://www.aap.org/catch/implementgrants.htm.
We
would like to encourage rural pediatricians to consider
applying for a CATCH grant. Many days we feel
overworked and abandoned, but I can tell you from
firsthand experience that working on a special project
in your community can be refreshing and rewarding.
The projects can be as extensive as developing clinics
for the underserved, or as simple as working with
schools on children with ADHD.
If
you have ideas for developing services for children not already
available in your community, consider writing a CATCH grant.
We know you are not experts in grant writing, only in taking care of
children. CATCH GRANTS ARE FOR YOU. We will help you.
The CATCH Program has liaisons that will assist you in developing the
parts of the grant you have trouble with. These are Chapter CATCH
Facilitators who are trained to work with you and their e-mails are
listed at the top of this page. There is also the CATCH staff at
the AAP. Call if you get stuck. That is why they are there,
to provide assistance with the development of your proposal. You
may contact Kathy Kocvara at 800-433-9016, extension 7632, or kkocvara@aap.org.
The Rural Health SIG (Rural Health Special Interest Group) of the
Council on Community Pediatrics also will help.
Don’t
let this opportunity pass you by. We
need your help to improve medical care for children in rural
areas. Apply now - more information and the online grant
application is at www.aap.org/catch/planninggrants.htm.

access the application and RFPs, please visit:
Online application - http://www.aap.org/catch/funds/
Implementation Funds RFP - http://www.aap.org/catch/implementgrants.htm
Resident Funds RFP - http://www.aap.org/catch/residentgrants.htm
It is never too soon to consult with your
chapter CATCH facilitator to explore your idea. The national CATCH
office is also available to answer your questions about the
various opportunities available that can enhance your practice of
Community Pediatrics.
