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

Ways you can Support

  • Underwrite a Research Grant: Provide funding for a groundbreaking study or pilot project focused on HIE prevention or treatment.

  • Sponsor Innovation in Technology: Help accelerate the development of new tools and equipment that can detect and prevent HIE.

  • Contribute to Data & Education Initiatives: Support data collection, analysis, and dissemination to ensure best practices reach healthcare systems nationwide.
