NIH Funding Opportunity: Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes
DEADLINES: Letter of intent – March 25, 2016; application – April 15, 2016
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). Informational webinars will be on Jan. 14 and Feb. 1, 2016. Additional information can be found on the ECHO website (http://www.nih.gov/ECHO).
