American Academy of Pediatrics invites applications for children’s community-based health initiatives

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is committed to the optimal physical, mental, and social health and well-being of all infants, children, adolescents, and young adults.

The AAP invites applications for its CATCH Planning, Implementation, and Resident Grants program. It supports pediatricians in leading innovative, community-based initiatives that increase children’s access to optimal health or well-being.

Grants up to $10,000 will be awarded to pediatricians who plan to build broad-based community partnerships to address unmet child health needs. CATCH offers both Planning and Implementation Grants, and the applicant determines which application to submit.

Planning Grants: Grants of $10,000 will be awarded to individual pediatricians or fellowship trainees for planning innovative, community-based initiatives that increase children’s access to optimal health or well-being.

Implementation Grants: Grants of $10,000 will be awarded to individual pediatricians or fellowship trainees for the initial implementation or to pilot innovative, community-based initiatives that increase children’s access to optimal health or well-being.

United States and Canadian general pediatricians, pediatric surgical subspecialists, and fellowship trainees are eligible to apply. National and Chapter AAP memberships must be current before grant funds can be disbursed.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the American Academy of Pediatrics website.

Deadline: January 22, 2024
