Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $344,973 to the University of Edinburgh over 1.5 years to support a randomized controlled trial on a combination treatment (aspirin, a vitamin supplement, and one dose of azithromycin) aimed at improving birth outcomes in Botswana and other countries with similar income levels. The University of Edinburgh will work jointly with the Botswana–Harvard AIDS Institute Partnership on the project.
This falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of scientific research.
