Community Access to Child Health (CATCH) Call for Proposals - Submissions due 1/31/2011
The CATCH Implementation Funds program Call for Proposals is now open; applications are due January 31, 2011. This program supports pediatricians in the initial and/or pilot stage of developing and implementing a community-based child health initiative. Grants of up to $12,000 are awarded to pediatricians to work collaboratively with local community partners to ensure that all children have medical homes and access to needed health care services.
More details are at www.aap.org/catch/implementgrants.htm.
Pediatric residents may apply for CATCH grants in amounts up to $3,000 to plan and/or implement a community-based child health initiative. To ensure project completion, only residents who will complete residency during or after June 2012 are eligible to apply. For most categorical pediatrics residents this would be PGY-1 and PGY-2 residents.

INAAP has a new CATCH grantee. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Sarah Bosslet for her funded project:
CEASE:Adaptation for Rural Community Practice
Secondhand smoke exposure has been well documented as a leading health concern for children. Despite this information, nearly 60% of children in Indiana continue to be exposed. The state of Indiana has one of the highest smoking rates in the country. The CEASE program is a validated tool that focuses on decreasing children’s exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke by having caregivers complete a questionnaire addressing tobacco smoke exposure. At every office visit, they are asked about tobacco use in the home and car as well as the readiness of the smoker to quit. It opens the door for discussion between caregiver and physician, creating opportunity to educate the family on methods to reduce exposure. Our proposal would adapt this program for use in our rural community practice by incorporating the questionnaire into our electronic medical records system and augmenting the program with cessation strategies and referrals when appropriate. Successful incorporation of this program into our office practice would serve both a community public health need, and would allow us to be a model for other local and regional pediatric and family medicine offices interested in addressing this important health
