NIH Funding Opportunity: Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes
DEADLINES: Letter of intent – March 15; application – April 15
Understanding the effects of environmental exposures on child health and development remains a priority for the National Institutes of Health. To advance knowledge in this area, NIH has launched a new seven-year initiative called the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program. ECHO is designed to leverage investments made in extant programs to support multiple synergistic, longitudinal studies that represent a broad range of environmental exposures (e.g., physical, chemical, biological, behavioral, social). A second informational webinars will be on Feb. 1. More is at the ECHO website, http://www.nih.gov/ECHO).
