Unlike many grant programs, ICATCH does not fund research, but focuses on improving access to clinical care, health education or pediatric training to child health providers. Applicants need NOT be pediatricians—CHWs, midwives, nurses, physical therapists and teachers,etc. are welcome to apply. We are eager to support small, simple but sustainable efforts that improve child health.
ICATCH is hosting a free one hour grant writing webinar open to all on this Thursday November 16 at 11 am CST. Register for ICATCH 2024-2027 tips for grant writers<https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZElc-2rqTgpEtGNxdlE9qadUTK1h60... or listen to the recording.
