AI Contract Overview
The National Institutes of Health through the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program is offering a funding opportunity to support doctoral candidates conducting dissertation research in key areas related to maternal and child health. This initiative aims to encourage the use of ECHO’s extensive longitudinal dataset, which includes de-identified information from over 71,000 mother-child pairs across the United States. The data comprehensively covers prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal environmental exposures as well as primary pediatric outcomes such as airway health, obesity, neurodevelopment, and positive health indicators. This dissertation grant opportunity is designed to promote cutting-edge research by facilitating access to ECHO’s large-scale cohort data housed in the NICHD Data and Specimen Hub (DASH). By doing so, it seeks to foster new investigators' entry into early environmental exposure research, ultimately broadening the base of skilled researchers in this field. Doctoral students studying high-priority maternal and child health topics are encouraged to collaborate with their institutions to submit applications. The program underscores a commitment to advancing knowledge that can improve health outcomes for children through understanding environmental influences from prenatal stages onward.

Full Description
The Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Program (ECHO) intends to promote an ongoing initiative by publishing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for support of doctoral candidates studying high-priority areas of maternal and child health in the completion of their doctoral dissertation research. This NOFO seeks to advance research in maternal and child health by stimulating the use of ECHO Cohort data by doctoral students in relevant scientific areas. This RFA will provide opportunities for 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. ECHO’s DASH dataset integrates de-identified longitudinal data from more than 71,000 maternal and child participants across the U.S. The data include prenatal and child environmental exposures of many kinds, and five primary pediatric outcome areas: pre-, peri-, and postnatal outcomes; upper and lower airway outcomes; obesity and its consequences; neurodevelopment; and positive health. This award will facilitate the entry of promising new investigators into the field of early environmental exposures and child health research, enhancing the pool of highly talented researchers. Any doctoral candidate studying in the high-priority areas identified is invited to work with their organization to develop an application for support.
