For Funding Opportunity for Maximizing the Scientific Value of Data Generated by the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program: Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship (F32)

US National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of the Director grant open #FOR-RFA-OD-25-005

Summary

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is forecasting a funding opportunity (RFA-OD-25-005) supporting individual postdoctoral fellowships under the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) F32 mechanism. The focus is on maximizing the scientific value of data generated by the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program. Applicants are expected to leverage existing ECHO program datasets to conduct novel research into environmental factors affecting child health. This is a fellowship award targeting early-career postdoctoral researchers rather than a traditional procurement contract.

What they want

This funding opportunity invites applications for individual postdoctoral fellowship awards (F32 mechanism) under the Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA program. The objective is to maximize the scientific value of data already generated by the NIH Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program. Fellows are expected to conduct research using ECHO program data to advance understanding of how environmental exposures influence child health outcomes. The opportunity is forecasted and associated with NIH Office of the Director (OD).
