CATCH Grant for Residents

Dr Leah Costello presented the topic of her CATCH grant in a morning report presentation in June. It may be useful to use with parents of pre-adolescent and adolescent parents.

The Community Access to Child Health (CATCH) Resident Grant supports pediatric residents in the planning and/or implementation of community-based child health initiatives. Grants of up to $3,000 are awarded twice each year on a competitive basis for pediatric residents to address the needs of children in their communities.
