RESEARCH & MEDICAL SUPPORT - 2015 Expenditures $30,432,577 THE MARCH OF DIMES FUNDS RESEARCH INTO THE CAUSES OF BIRTH DEFECTS, PREMATURE BIRTH AND OTHER THREATS TO BABIES' HEALTH AS WELL AS WAYS TO PREVENT AND TREAT THEM. THE MARCH OF DIMES CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY HAS SELECTED BOLD PROBLEMS FROM CONQUERING POLIO TO PREVENTING PREMATURITY AND HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL THROUGH CAREFUL PLANNING AND EXECUTION TO ACHIEVE OUR MISSION. THE MARCH OF DIMES ALSO HAS DEVELOPED PARTNERSHIPS TO LEVERAGE ITS EFFORTS TOGETHER WITH THOSE OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE U.S. AND GLOBALLY. SINCE THE START OF OUR NATIONAL PREMATURITY CAMPAIGN IN 2003, RATES OF PRETERM BIRTH HAVE DECLINED FOR 8 YEARS IN A ROW TO 9.6% AND HAVE REACHED A 17-YEAR LOW. BETWEEN 2006 AND 2013, AN ESTIMATED 231,000 BABIES HAVE BEEN SPARED THE CONSEQUENCES OF AN EARLY BIRTH, AND OUR COUNTRY HAS SAVED AT LEAST $11.9 BILLION IN EXCESS HEALTH CARE COSTS. WE ACHIEVED THESE RESULTS THROUGH SUSTAINED LEADERSHIP AND A VARIETY OF PARTNERSHIPS. WE OPENED FIVE MARCH OF DIMES PREMATURITY RESEARCH CENTERS, THE FIRST ONE AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN 2011, THE SECOND AS THE OHIO COLLABORATIVE (UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI, THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY AND CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY) IN 2013, THE THIRD AND FOURTH AT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS AND THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND THE FIFTH INVOLVING THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, NORTHWESTERN, AND DUKE UNIVERSITY IN 2015. THESE PREMATURITY RESEARCH CENTERS TAKE A UNIQUE TEAM SCIENCE APPROACH TO SPEED UP THE DISCOVERY OF CAUSES AND PREVENTIONS, DRAWING FACULTY NOT ONLY FROM THE MEDICAL SCHOOLS, BUT FROM ACROSS THE CAMPUSES, INCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE FROM SCHOOLS OF ENGINEERING. OUR GOALS ARE THREEFOLD: 1) TO DETERMINE THE CAUSES OF PRETERM BIRTH; 2) TO DEVELOP NEW WAYS TO IDENTIFY WOMEN OR PREGNANCIES AT RISK; AND 3) TO TURN KNOWLEDGE INTO EFFECTIVE CLINICAL AND POLICY-BASED SOLUTIONS. THE KEY TO THIS UNIQUE ENDEAVOR IS TRANSDISCIPLINARITY, INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED TO ACCELERATE DISCOVERIES IN PRETERM BIRTH RESEARCH. THE TOTAL INVESTMENT IN THESE CENTERS IN 2015 WAS $8.25 MILLION AND WILL INCREASE TO $10 MILLION IN 2016. THE GENERAL MARCH OF DIMES RESEARCH PORTFOLIO FUNDS MANY DIFFERENT AREAS OF RESEARCH ON TOPICS RELATED TO OUR MISSION TO PREVENT BIRTH DEFECTS, PREMATURE BIRTH AND INFANT MORTALITY. THESE INVESTIGATIONS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, BASIC BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES OF DEVELOPMENT, GENETICS, CLINICAL STUDIES, STUDIES OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY, AND STUDIES IN SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES THAT FOCUS ON FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO ADVERSE PREGNANCY OUTCOMES, AND ON CONSEQUENCES OF BIRTH DEFECTS AND PREMATURITY. THE BASIL O'CONNOR STARTER SCHOLAR RESEARCH AWARDS ARE FUNDED IN A PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO SUPPORT SCIENTISTS JUST EMBARKING ON THEIR INDEPENDENT RESEARCH CAREERS. CREATED IN 1973 AND NAMED FOR THE FIRST MARCH OF DIMES CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT, THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES FUNDING TO YOUNG INVESTIGATORS TO START THEIR OWN RESEARCH PROJECTS ON TOPICS RELATED TO THE MARCH OF DIMES MISSION. THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR THESE 50 INVESTIGATOR INITATED GRANTS SUPPORTED BY THE MARCH OF DIMES IN 2015 WAS JUST OVER $11 MILLION. IN ADDITION, THE MARCH OF DIMES ALSO SUPPORTS A LARGE NUMBER OF CONFERENCES, BOTH NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL, ON THE TOPIC OF BIRTH DEFECTS, PREMATURE BIRTH, AND INFANT MORTALITY. IN 2015, THIS AMOUNT TOTALED NEARLY $1 MILLION. WE LED THE DRIVE TO ELIMINATE EARLY ELECTIVE DELIVERIES BEFORE 39 COMPLETED WEEKS OF PREGNANCY. THIS WORK INCLUDED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES WITH OVER 100 PROMINENT HOSPITALS IN 28 STATES. A PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATION, THE RESEARCH FOR WHICH WAS SUPPORTED BY AND ON WHICH THE MAJORITY OF THE AUTHORS WERE FROM THE MARCH OF DIMES, SHOWED AN 83% REDUCTION IN EARLY ELECTIVE DELIVERIES FROM JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBER OF THE SAME YEAR AMONG 25 HOSPITALS IN FIVE STATES. THIS WORK ALSO INCLUDES A NATIONAL CONSUMER EDUCATION CAMPAIGN CALLED HEALTHY BABIES ARE WORTH THE WAIT. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE HEALTHY BABIES ARE WORTH THE WAIT PILOT IN KENTUCKY WAS PUBLISHED IN 2015 AS VOLUME 1 OF THE NEW PEER-REVIEWED MARCH OF DIMES SERIES WITH ELSEVIER AS THE PUBLISHER. THIS SHOWS THAT THERE WAS A REDUCTION IN EARLY ELECTIVE DELIVERIES IN KENTUCKY COMPARED WITH SURROUNDING STATES, AND REVIEWERS WERE HIGHLY COMPLIMENTARY OF THE MARCH OF DIMES TAKING ON A RESEARCH PROJECT OF THIS COMPLEXITY IN A "REAL WORLD SETTING." IN 2012, THE U.S. DEPT. OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES BUILT ON THIS APPROACH BY LAUNCHING STRONG START, AN INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE BIRTH OUTCOMES. THE LEAPFROG GROUP, A NONPROFIT HOSPITAL QUALITY WATCHDOG, RELEASED RESULTS FROM THE 2013 LEAPFROG HOSPITAL SURVEY, WHICH SHOWED THE RATE OF EARLY ELECTIVE DELIVERIES (NON-MEDICALLY NECESSARY C-SECTIONS AND INDUCTIONS BEFORE 39 WEEKS) DROPPED FROM 17% IN 2010 TO 4.6% IN 2013 AT NEARLY 1,000 REPORTING HOSPITALS. THE JOINT COMMISSION HAS INCLUDED THE REDUCTION OF EARLY ELECTIVE DELIVERIES AS ONE OF ITS FIVE PERINATAL CORE MEASURES, WHICH WILL IMPACT POLICIES AT ALL BIRTHING HOSPITALS IN THE U.S. OUR RESEARCH ADVANCES OVER THE PAST 75 YEARS ARE STILL IMPROVING HEALTH AND SAVING LIVES OF BABIES TODAY. POLIO ONCE CRIPPLED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN, BUT THANKS TO VACCINES DEVELOPED WITH MARCH OF DIMES SUPPORT, THIS DISEASE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED IN MOST OF THE WORLD. NEWBORN SCREENING TESTS DEVELOPED WITH FUNDING FROM THE MARCH OF DIMES CONTRIBUTE TO THE DETECTION OF THE RECOMMENDED SET OF 34 SERIOUS BUT TREATABLE DISORDERS AND SAVE LIVES. THE MARCH OF DIMES NATIONAL FOLIC ACID CAMPAIGN LED TO FORTIFICATION OF GRAIN PRODUCTS IN 1998 WITH THE B VITAMIN FOLIC ACID, AND SINCE THEN OUR NATION HAS SEEN A 36 PERCENT REDUCTION IN SPINA BIFIDA, A BIRTH DEFECT OF THE SPINAL CORD, AND A 17 PERCENT REDUCTION IN ANENCEPHALY, A VERY SERIOUS BIRTH DEFECT OF THE BRAIN THAT UNIFORMLY RESULTS IN DEATH. REDUCING PRETERM BIRTH THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF STATE AND TERRITORIAL HEALTH OFFICIALS (ASTHO), BEGINNING IN 2012 HEALTH DEPARTMENTS IN EVERY STATE, PUERTO RICO AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PLEDGED TO REDUCE THEIR RATES OF PREMATURE BIRTH BY 8 PERCENT BY DATA YEAR 2014. USING THE DATA FROM THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS (NCHS) OF THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC), 25 STATES OR TERRITORIES HAVE ACHIEVED THEIR 8% REDUCTION GOAL: ALASKA, ARIZONA, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, CONNECTICUT, COLORADO, DELAWARE, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, IDAHO, INDIANA, MAINE, MASSACHUSETTS, MISSISSIPPI, NEVADA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW YORK, NORTH DAKOTA, PUERTO RICO, RHODE ISLAND, UTAH, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, AND WYOMING. SINCE 2008, THE MARCH OF DIMES HAS ISSUED PREMATURE BIRTH REPORT CARDS THAT GRADE STATES BASED ON THEIR PROGRESS IN REDUCING PRETERM BIRTH. IN 2015, TWO SIGNIFICANT NEW ELEMENTS WERE ADDED TO THE REPORT CARDS: AN INDEX OF RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITIES IN EACH STATE, AND GRADES FOR CITIES AND COUNTIES WITH THE HIGHEST BIRTH VOLUME IN EACH STATE. THE DISPARITY INDEX, CREATED BY THE MARCH OF DIMES PERINATAL DATA CENTER, QUANTIFIES RACIAL/ETHNIC DISPARITIES, ALLOWS FOR STATES TO BE RANKED COMPARED TO ONE ANOTHER, AND PROVIDES A RELIABLE MEASURE TO TRACK PROGRESS IN REDUCING DISPARITIES IN PRETERM BIRTH OVER TIME. FOR THE FIRST TIME, 2015 STATE REPORT CARDS ALSO INCLUDED GRADES FOR UP TO SIX OF THE LARGEST CITIES OR COUNTIES IN EACH STATE. IN ADDITION, THE MARCH OF DIMES ISSUED GRADES FOR THE 100 U.S. CITIES WITH THE GREATEST NUMBERS OF LIVE BIRTHS.

AS PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, MARCH OF DIMES AND FIGO HAVE CONTRACTED WITH THE BOSTON CONSULTING GROUP ON A STUDY TO UNDERSTAND THE DRIVERS OF DIFFERENCES IN PRETERM BIRTH ACROSS AND WITHIN COUNTRIES OVER TIME, ON THE BASIS OF THESE FINDINGS IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO REDUCE PRETERM BIRTH IN HIGH-INCOME COUNTRIES AND, SUBSEQUENTLY, SELECTED MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES AND IDENTIFY GAPS IN KNOWLEDGE AND IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH. WE ARE ALSO WORKING WITH THE MARCH OF DIMES GLOBAL NETWORK FOR MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH IN LEBANON, MALAWI AND THE PHILIPPINES TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG WOMEN BEFORE THEY BECOME PREGNANT AND HELD THE 7TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE PREVENTION OF BIRTH DEFECTS AND DISABILITY IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD TO BE HELD IN DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA IN SEPTEMBER.
