Improving the health of babies for generations to come.

Your baby deserves the very best start in life. At the Neonatal Research Institute (NRI), we work tirelessly to improve the health of newborns by discovering new, leading-edge treatments and practices.

Latest news from the Neonatal Research Institute.

We are proud to be the recipient of a new $3.1 million research project grant from the National Institutes of Health, which will help to support our study on umbilical cord milking in non-vigorous infants.

We also received funding from a recent $5 million donation from the Alexander and Eva Nemeth Foundation to Sharp Mary Birch to support projects both at the NRI and the hospital's Nemeth NICU Follow-Up Clinic.

In addition, we are proud to be the recipient of a $2.9 million research project grant from the National Institutes of Health, which will extend our research on umbilical cord milking and delayed cord clamping.

How you can help.

The research we conduct at Sharp Mary Birch holds the potential to transform medical practice and improve outcomes for newborns in San Diego and beyond.
