Grant Proposals
There are so many children’s health issues in Tennessee. Problems that pediatricians see every day. Just a few that we would like to have an impact upon include: children with special health care needs, immunization compliance, and child abuse prevention, among others.
Support for Member Pediatricians Projects
The Foundation provides a way for pediatricians to put their ideas to work. Pediatricians submit ideas for research studies, public relations or other outreach programs for improving children’s health and safety. If funding is acquired for the project, then the Foundation staff, in conjunction with the pediatrician, develops a budget, while pediatricians administer and oversee the projects.
Projects Funded by Pediatricians
The Foundation may offer assistance to those member pediatricians who wish to fund a project and wish to use the Foundation as a fiscal agent, such as CATCH grants or personally funded projects.
