Program Overview
The Healthy Tomorrows Partnership
for Children Program (HTPCP) is a cooperative
agreement between the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The cooperative agreement is funded by MCHB. Federal grants of up to $50,000
per year for 5 years are awarded annually
through the program to support community-based child health
projects that improve the health status of mothers, infants,
children, and adolescents by increasing their access to health
services. Through the cooperative agreement, Healthy Tomorrows
staff at the AAP provide technical assistance to program applicants
and grantees.
Healthy Tomorrows
projects must represent a new initiative within the community
or an innovative component that builds on existing community resources.
Projects usually target low-income populations and address four
key areas:
- Access to health care services,
- Community-based health care,
- Preventive health care, and
- Service coordination
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS:
- Direct health services,
- Pediatrician involvement, 2 to 1 non-federal matching funds
in years 2 - 5 (i.e., if federal grant award is $50,000, then the matching requirement is $100,000, which can include in-kind funds),
- A realistic evaluation component,
and
- An advisory board comprised of local
community members, families, program participants, and representatives
from partner agencies
