Pediatrician Can Make a Difference

CATCH Project Archive
The AAP developed a grant/project database that archives
previously funded Community Pediatrics grant projects, including
those funded through the CATCH Program, the Healthy Tomorrows
Partnership for Children Program, the Community Pediatrics
Training Initiative and the Healthy People 2010 Chapter
Grants. The database
is searchable by seven major categories: target population,
health topic, state/territory, project activity, AAP program,
AAP district, and project year. By searching this database
through the Member Center, you can obtain contact information
of the grantees.
