I am delighted to announce the inaugural ECHO Symposium: Translating Science to Action on September 15, 2025, at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, and online.

Register today to join in person or online.

Please join me for this free-to-attend, one-day event that aims to translate child health research findings from ECHO and others into action by informing intervention programs, health policies, and clinical practice. Experts from multiple disciplines will explore factors that influence child health and address opportunities to prevent childhood disorders and enhance well-being. Join representatives of professional societies, advocacy groups, federal partners, Congress, state and local governments, research participants, and others.

Three sequential sessions will cover Chemical Exposures, Social and Neighborhood Factors, and Community Experiences. Each session will feature a chair, presenters, and a discussant to kick off a panel discussion that follows presentations. Both in-person and online attendees will have the chance to ask questions.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Matthew Gillman, MD, SM
Director of the ECHO Program
