Narrative:
Monitored closely aircrafts with recurrent fume events to investigate the root cause of the problem until a permanent solution that yields the desired results is achieved. Including but not limited to replacement of currently used engine life-limited parts; and the check intervals of such parts that could be potentially leading to these fume events. During the takeoff and initial climbout phase at about 500 feet AGL the captain and I smelled a strong dirty-socks odor. The captain checked with the flight attendants to confirm there was no odor in the cabin. Shortly after; during the climb phase we ran the supplementary procedure for elimination of odor/fumes in the cockpit/cabin. After turning pack 1 off; the smell started to dissipate and a few minutes later there was no odor. We notified dispatch; applied MEL operational procedures associated with one pack off. The rest of the flight was uneventful.
