Open Competition: ECHO Pregnancy Cohort Study Sites (US)

Deadline: 21-Oct-22

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) invites applications for new ECHO Cohort Study Sites to extend and expand the capacity of the ECHO Cohort to further investigate the roles of a broad range of early exposures from society to biology, including the preconception period, on ECHO’s five key child health outcome areas—pre-, peri- and postnatal, upper and lower airways, obesity, neurodevelopment, and positive health—among diverse populations.

Objectives

  • lead collaborative ECHO Cohort science, 
  • recruit new pregnant participants from diverse populations, their resulting offspring, and, if available, the conceiving partner,
  • develop and implement the ECHO Cohort Preconception Pilot Study, and
  • implement the ECHO Cohort Data and Biospecimen Collection Protocol using the ECHO Cohort consortium’s central data capture system, e.g., REDCap Central. This FOA does not support site-specific analyses and science.
