APPLY HERE
The “Supporting Providers and Families to Access Telehealth and Distant Care Services for Pediatric Care” project is a grant between the American
Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) to support telehealth access and infrastructure for the provision of comprehensive care to children and adolescents, including children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN)
and other vulnerable pediatric populations, utilizing a medical home approach during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of this grant, the AAP is launching a program that will provide small stipends to practices serving pediatric patients and families.
The stipend program will offer $5,000 to community-based practices that serve rural areas (with an emphasis on underserved populations in those areas) and are
new to telehealth implementation. The program will support practices with the implementation of telehealth and distance care through participation in a 6-month virtual learning community. Applicants can include practices with non-pediatrician physicians,
such as pediatric nurse practitioners and family physicians. See HERE
for more information.
