The AAP Committee on Native American Child Health has partnered with CATCH in the funding of its Native American child health grants for projects that benefit American Indian/Alaska native (AI/AN) children.

According to the IHS manual, IHS physicians may accept grants less than $100,000 and no approval is required from Area or Headquatres.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is pleased to announce that CATCH will be accepting submissions for its Implementation and Resident Funds programs beginning November 1, 2011. The Implementation Funds program supports the initial and/or pilot stage of developing and implementing a community-based child health initiative. Grants of up to $12,000 will be awarded to pediatricians who will work collaboratively with local community partners to ensure that all children have medical homes and access to needed health care services. Priority is given to projects that will serve a population known to be underserved or with demonstrated health disparities. All projects must be sustainable. A pediatrician must lead the project and be significantly involved in proposal development and project activities.
Grants of up to $3,000 are awarded to residents to plan and/or implement community-based initiatives that increase access to medical homes or health care services not otherwise available. Projects must include planning activities or demonstrate completed planning activities, and may include implementation activities. A pediatrician must lead the project and be significantly involved in proposal development and project activities. To ensure project completion, residents who are in their 1st or 2nd year of residency on the submission due date of January 31, 2012 are eligible to apply; 3rd-year residents may apply if they will be chief resident in their 4th year.
