Healthy Tomorrows
2010
The Healthy Tomorrows
Partnership for Children Program (HTPCP) is a cooperative
agreement program between the federal Maternal and Child Health
Bureau (MCHB) and the American Academy of Pediatrics
(AAP). Federal grants of up to $50,000 per year for 5
years are awarded through the program to support community-based
child health projects that improve the health status of mothers,
infants, children, and adolescents by increasing their access to
health services.
Healthy Tomorrows projects must
represent a new initiative within the community or an innovative
component that builds upon existing community resources.
Projects usually target low-income populations and address four
key areas:
- Access to health care,
- Community-based health care,
- Preventive health care, and
- Service coordination.
Healthy Tomorrows Projects must
include:
- Direct health services;
- Pediatrician involvement;
- $100,000 of non-federal
matching funds in years 2 - 5 (may include in-kind funds)
- An evaluation component; and
- An advisory board comprised of
local community members, families, and program participants.
MCHB is especially interested in
proposals for projects that incorporate the goals, objectives,
guidelines and materials of its Bright Futures for Infants,
Children and Adolescents initiative to improve the quality of
health promotion and prevention services in the context of
family and community.
