The ECHO Program is a national research initiative funded by the National Institutes of Health.

ECHO brings together research teams, study sites and participants across the country to answer big questions about child health. Researchers follow children over time, sometimes from pregnancy or birth into adolescence and beyond. This long view helps researchers to better understand how early-life exposures shape health throughout the lifespan and across generations. The program focuses on five areas of health with high public health importance.
