The Global Alliance for Infant and Maternal Health Research (Global AIM) at Brown University is dedicated to ensuring every mother and baby survive and thrive through groundbreaking research, technological innovation, and transforming clinical care. By translating scientific discovery to real-world impact, we address global health disparities and pioneer solutions for safer pregnancies, healthier infants, and stronger communities.

Every seven seconds, a woman or a baby dies due to complications in pregnancy, childbirth or the first month after birth. Collective action, innovative solutions, and global collaborations are needed to reverse the trend and save lives.

Our Vision

To end preventable mortality and optimize the health and potential of every mother, every baby, everywhere.

Our Mission

To lead scientific innovation, transform clinical care, and empower future investigators to promote the interconnected health and well-being of mothers and infants.

Our Approach

We apply a transdisciplinary and collaborative research model that spans the continuum of care—from pregnancy through early childhood.  By partnering with global communities to co-design research and translate discoveries to clinical care, we aim to drive sustainable impact in maternal and child health.
