Support Research & Innovation
At the Macie Jo Foundation, we know that knowledge drives change. Preventing hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and improving outcomes for affected families requires cutting-edge research, data-driven innovation, and bold solutions.
​
Your support helps us fund critical research that uncovers the causes, risk factors, and best practices for HIE prevention and treatment—creating a future where every baby has a safer start in life.

Why Research Matters
Each year, thousands of babies experience life-altering brain injuries that could often be prevented. Yet, significant gaps remain in:
​
-
Understanding HIE risk factors and early warning signs
-
Developing standardized protocols for labor and delivery emergencies
-
Improving access to neonatal brain monitoring and cooling therapies
-
Exploring long-term interventions for children affected by HIE
By investing in research and innovation, you become part of the solution, helping advance the science that saves lives.
Our Commitment to Research
We partner with hospitals, universities, and healthcare leaders to fund projects that:
​
-
Identify Early Detection Methods to prevent oxygen deprivation during birth
-
Improve Clinical Practices through evidence-based guidelines and training
-
Support Technology Development for real-time fetal monitoring and decision-making
-
Enhance Family Outcomes by studying long-term care strategies and therapies
