AI Contract Overview
The Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Program (ECHO) is seeking applications from postdoctoral fellows to advance research and training focused on early environmental exposures and child health outcomes. Utilizing the extensive ECHO Cohort data, which includes de-identified longitudinal information from over 71,000 maternal and child participants across the United States, this initiative supports studies in five primary pediatric outcome areas: prenatal and postnatal outcomes, respiratory health, obesity and its consequences, neurodevelopment, and positive health. The large dataset housed within the NICHD Data and Specimen Hub (DASH) provides a valuable resource for analyzing diverse environmental influences on child health. This funding opportunity aims to encourage promising new investigators to enter and contribute to this critical field, fostering a stronger research community dedicated to understanding environmental impacts on child health. Eligible postdoctoral fellows are invited to collaborate with their institutions to develop applications that leverage the unique ECHO dataset to generate innovative insights. The program is supported by the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services, with further information and application guidance available through the NIH contacts.

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 awards to advance research and training in high-priority areas of child health using ECHO Cohort data by postdoctoral fellows from relevant scientific communities. This RFA will provide opportunities for fellows 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 postdoctoral fellowship candidate studying in the areas identified is invited to work with their organization to develop an application for support.
