The Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program Office has announced its intent to publish two Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) inviting applications from postdoctoral fellows and dissertation students to study early environmental exposures and child health outcomes through the analysis of ECHO’s large longitudinal data set within the NICHD Data and Specimen Hub (DASH) repository.

The Program Office will not accept applications submitted before publication of the Notices of Funding Opportunity expected in December 2024.

The two notices of intent may be found here:

The ECHO Cohort is the observational component of the ECHO Program and supports its overall mission to enhance the health of children for generations to come. The ECHO Cohort dataset on DASH integrates de-identified longitudinal data from more than 63,000 participants across the U.S. The data include prenatal and child exposures of many kinds, and five primary pediatric outcome areas: pre-, peri-, and postnatal health, upper and lower airway health, obesity, neurodevelopment, and positive health.

Individuals from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and women are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. See, Reminder: . See also .

Applications are not being solicited at this time.
