The Community Access To Child Health (CATCH) program is a national initiative of AAP. CATCH grants are awarded in the Fall and Spring each year. Residents are strongly encouraged to apply for a grant and to seek the support of the chapter facilitators and district resident liaisons to discuss their ideas.
THE CATCH program provides grants up to $10,000 to individual pediatricians or fellowship trainees for planning or for the initial implementation of a community-based project.
