What saves lives? Sometimes it’s close cultural observation and solutions-oriented research. Congratulations to Dr. Ross Boyce MD, MSc and the full research team on the publication of their landmark clinical trial in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM Group). In a randomized controlled study in Uganda, the team tested a new approach to malaria prevention: permethrin-treated baby wraps, based on common caregiving practices. The results were striking—children whose caregivers used the wraps had a more than two-thirds lower incidence of malaria, even when used alongside bed nets. This work demonstrates the power of culturally grounded, evidence-based strategies to strengthen prevention efforts. We’re proud to support research that meets communities where they are and explores new possibilities for impact. 📄 Read the full study: https://lnkd.in/eDUwWsUN

Are we leaving some of the best health innovations untapped? Contextual health science, research rooted in care delivery, health systems, and real-world implementation, holds the power to drive better outcomes faster. At the Doris Duke Foundation, we’re exploring how every stage of science can accelerate equity and improve lives. 👉 Follow us to see how we’re expanding the boundaries of health research and shining a light on discoveries that truly change care.

Are we failing to understand how health really happens? Maybe. Some of the most powerful innovations lie in health system science... the messy, complex, and often overlooked research that connects care delivery, equity, and community health. At the Doris Duke Foundation, we’re exploring how these underfunded areas can accelerate better outcomes for all. 👉 Follow us to see how we’re shining a light on overlooked science and helping it reach the people it’s meant to serve.

In our mission to support scientific discovery, are we leaving some of the best ideas untapped? Innovations across the many fields of health system science have enormous potential to accelerate better health outcomes At the Doris Duke Foundation, we're exploring the full spectrum of health research and identifying opportunities that can make the biggest impact 👉 Follow us to see how funders are supporting all areas of health research and uncovering the most promising opportunities

Biomedical research alone does not guarantee better health outcomes. Healthscape science innovations rooted in social context, care delivery, and community partnerships can maximize the relevance and impact of biomedical research. Once considered peripheral, these fields are now driving some of the most influential thinking in health science. At the Doris Duke Foundation, we're exploring how discoveries can move faster, deepen equity and improve outcomes. 👉 Follow us to see how funders are supporting healthscape science and uncovering opportunities that truly improve lives.

While we invest billions in biomedical research, too many breakthroughs never reach the people they’re meant to help. By considering the full spectrum of health research, we can generate actionable insights that improve health outcomes At the Doris Duke Foundation, we're exploring the full and complex spectrum of research and identifying the most impactful opportunities 👉 Follow us to see how funders are discovering and supporting the research that drives real-world impact
