The NIH Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program office will host the inaugural ECHO symposium: Translating Science to Action on Sept. 15 in Bldg. 45 and online.

The day-long event will bring together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, advocates, community leaders and more to explore how early environmental factors influence child health—and how we can translate science into meaningful action.

Supported by NIH, the ECHO program aims to understand the effects of a broad range of early environmental influences on child health and development. ECHO is dedicated to both learning what factors affect child health and to finding ways to enhance it. The program’s research has the potential to enhance the health of children for generations to come.
