Call for Proposals (including environmental health-related proposals)

 Applications available now; submissions due January 23, 2023
The CATCH Call for Proposals is open through January 23, 2023 at 3:00 pm CT.  Residents with innovative ideas to plan or implement child health initiatives may apply for $2,000.  This year, COEH is sponsoring a resident grant (https://downloads.aap.org/doccsa/catchresidentcall.pdf).  COEH welcomes proposals from across the spectrum of pediatric environmental health issues, including but not limited to climate change, lead exposure, environmental justice, air pollution, water quality, and pesticide exposure. 

The American Academy of Pediatrics is accepting submissions for its annual CATCH Planning, Implementation, and Resident grants.  The CATCH Program supports pediatricians to lead innovative, community-based initiatives that increase children’s access to optimal health or well-being.  Grants up to $10,000 are awarded annually on a competitive basis to pediatricians who plan to build broad-based community partnerships to address unmet child health needs.

Grants of up to $2,000 also will be awarded on a competitive basis for residents to plan or implement community-based child health initiatives.  Resident projects must include planning activities or demonstrate completed planning activities, and may include implementation activities.  To ensure project completion, residents who are in their first or second year of residency on the application submission due date are eligible to apply; third-year residents may apply if they will be chief resident in their fourth year.  PGY-3 residents are eligible to apply as co-applicants.

Questions? Reach out to CATCH staff at catch@aap.org.  To learn more about CATCH visit aap.org/CATCH.  Applications must be submitted online.


We would like to encourage rural pediatricians to consider applying for a CATCH grant.  Many days we feel overworked and abandoned, but I can tell you from first hand experience that working on a special project in your community can be refreshing and rewarding.  The projects can be as extensive as developing clinics for the underserved, or as simple as working with schools on children with ADHD.

Join more than 1,500 pediatricians who, through their CATCH grant projects, have learned that local child health problems can be solved locally, often using local resources.

One pediatrician can make a difference!
