The CATCH program is a flagship initiative of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). For over 25 years, the program has supported pediatricians and residents to collaborate within their communities to advance the health of all children.
Through an annual competitive process, CATCH awards seed funding for planning and implementation grants to pediatricians; fellows/fellowship trainees receive $10,000 for planning or implementation projects, while residents are awarded $2,000. CATCH is supported by a network of volunteer pediatricians who provide technical assistance to those seeking funding as well as support once a project has started.鈥Chapter CATCH Facilitators听and听District Resident Liaisons听serve as 鈥渂oots on the ground鈥 in the 10 AAP districts and represent their local chapter.听
