Purpose

Community Access to Child Health (CATCH) Planning and Implementation grants support pediatricians and fellowship trainees in the initial planning and/or pilot stage of implementing a community-based child health initiative. The program is designed to help increase children's access to optimal health and well-being and address unmet child health needs.

Project requirements:

  • Must be new in the community
  • Must include plans for services and/or outreach to children in the community, not just those served in the practice
  • Includes plans for community partnerships

Priorities include:

  • Demonstrate creativity or innovation in the designated community
  • Predominantly serve a population of children with unmet health needs or with demonstrated health disparities
  • Aim to develop strong, broad-based community partnerships
  • Assess children's health or well-being and/or increase access to needed health services not otherwise available
  • Be led by a pediatrician who plays a significant role in the project
  • Address an important need and likely achieve stated goals
  • Include plans for sustainability beyond the grant period
