Reducing global mortality and severity of disease in newborn infants through innovation and holistic interventions [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Infants born prematurely often encounter problems affecting the growth, development and function of multiple body systems. This multi-organ disease usually results from infection, inflammation, and excessive or insufficient oxygen. Importantly, many premature infants are born in low-resource settings. This fellowship aims to reduce global mortality and multi-organ disease in preterm infants using simple, holistic and low-cost interventions that directly target the underlying causative factors.
