CATCH Residency Training Grants
The Community Pediatrics Training Initiative has partnered with
CATCH to offer grants program targeting pediatric residency
training programs. The mission of this program is to provide support
to residency programs to build sustainable opportunities for residents
to gain experience working on community-based child health initiatives
that increase access to medical homes or specific health services
not otherwise available. Grants up to $12,000 will be awarded
for innovative planning and implementation activities to be completed
over the course of 16 months. (More Info)
CATCH Implementation Funds Grants Information
The CATCH Program has expanded to include the initial implementation
process involved in developing programs aimed at increasing access
to medical homes and other needed services. CATCH funding should
lead to the development of successful CATCH programs that can
be replicated in other communities. The CATCH Implementation Funds
program provides grants in amounts from $2,500 to $12,000 for
pediatricians to initiate an innovative, community-based proposal
to increase children's access to health care. The CATCH Implementation
Funds program will award these grants on a competitive basis.
