Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is soliciting applications to access limited identifiable data or biospecimens from the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort to study high-priority areas of maternal and child health. The ECHO Cohort's dataset integrates longitudinal data from over 130,000 maternal and child participants across the U.S., including prenatal and child environmental exposures and five primary pediatric outcome areas. The ECHO Cohort Biorepository includes over 100,000 biospecimen samples.
• Study high-priority areas of maternal and child health
• Investigate exposures, including natural and built environments, physical, chemical, social, behavioral, and biological factors
• Explore outcomes, including pre-, peri-, and postnatal outcomes, upper and lower airway outcomes, obesity, neurodevelopment, and positive health or well-being
• Elucidate pathways linking these exposures and outcomes
