In plain English
This NIH (NICHD) R36 dissertation grant supports individual doctoral candidates completing dissertation research in high-priority child health areas using data from the ECHO Cohort, a de-identified longitudinal dataset of more than 71,000 participants. Because it is a dissertation award, it is narrowly aimed at doctoral students (working through their institutions) in relevant scientific fields, not the general public or organizations broadly. Foreign organizations, the foreign components of U.S. organizations, and foreign components are not eligible or allowed. No specific award amount is stated; see the NOFO for full eligibility details.

About this grant
The goal of this NOFO is to support doctoral candidates studying high-priority areas of child health for the completion of their doctoral dissertation research project. This NOFO seeks to advance research in child health by stimulating the use of Environmental Influences on Child Health (ECHO) Cohort data by doctoral students in relevant scientific areas. This RFA will provide students working on dissertations the opportunity to access the ECHO data within the NICHD Data and Specimen Hub (DASH) repository. ECHO"s DASH dataset integrates de-identified longitudinal data from more than 71,000 participants across the U.S. Prenatal and child exposure data include physical, chemical, social, behavioral, and biological factors. ECHO"s five primary pediatric outcome areas are pre-, peri-, and postnatal outcomes, upper and lower airway, obesity, 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.
