This announcement lets researchers apply for access to limited identifiable ECHO Cohort data, and in some cases biospecimens, for ancillary studies on maternal and child health. It is open to the broader scientific community, including ECHO Consortium investigators, but foreign organizations and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. These awards do not provide funding, and applicants must show they have non-ECHO funding to cover all study costs, including data and biospecimen access and related ECHO core services. The maximum project period is 3 years, there is no cost sharing requirement, and applications must include a Letter of Support from the ECHO Cohort Steering Committee.
