American Academy of Pediatrics Seeks Proposals for the Community Access to Child Health Implementation Funds Program
Deadline: January 31, 2007

The American Academy of Pediatrics (<a href="http://www.aap.org/">http://www.aap.org/</a>) has released a 2007 Call for Proposals for the Community Access to Child Health Implementation Funds program. CATCH provides grants to support pediatricians in the planning or pilot stages of the implementation of community-based child health initiatives.

Grants should lead to the initialization of implementation projects aimed at increasing access to medical homes ( http://medicalhomeinfo.org/ ) and other needed services. A pediatrician must lead the project and be significantly involved in proposal development and project activities. Priority will be given to projects serving communities with the greatest demonstrated healthcare access needs and health disparities.

Grants of up to $10,000 each are awarded each year on a competitive basis to pediatricians who want to address the local needs of children in the community. This is a six-month implementation grant. Grant funds must be used for initial implementation activities only.

Only applicants from the United States and its territories are eligible to apply. Applicants must be members of AAP to be eligible.

Visit the AAP Web site for complete program guidelines and application procedures.
