The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program will hold its inaugural ECHO Symposium: Translating Science to Action on September 15, 2025, at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, and online.
This free-to-attend, one-day interdisciplinary event seeks to translate child health research 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 and Exposures, Social and Neighborhood Factors, and Community Experiences. Each session will feature a chair, presenters, and a discussant to kick off a panel discussion following presentations. Both in-person and online attendees will have the chance to ask questions.
