ABP Foundation

About the Foundation

The American Board of Pediatrics Foundation is a 501(c)3 supporting organization of the ABP. Founded in 1986 with initial funding from the ABP, the Foundation operates separately from the ABP and is governed by its own Board of Directors and bylaws (PDF).

Our mission: Supporting the ABP’s mission through research, innovation, and engagement

We share the same vision and values with the ABP.

Projects funded by the ABP Foundation fall within the three main focus areas of the current strategic plan (below) and may reflect special initiatives that span across more than one focus area. The Foundation also supports honors.

Focus Areas

We partner with families to design our programs for the ever-changing health care needs and the diverse sociodemographic characteristics of children and families. We partner with pediatricians, researchers, and other stakeholders to improve the value and outcomes of assessment and certification across a pediatrician’s career. We identify trends, gaps, and opportunities in the pediatric workforce and pediatric health care and partner to optimize child health.
Special Initiatives: We form partnerships to foster well-being and resilience and improve the behavioral and mental health care of all children and their families.
