Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $1,500,000 over three years to Washington University in St. Louis to support a randomized controlled trial in Sierra Leone, led by Dr. Mark Manary, of omega-3 fatty acid supplements for pregnant women. This trial will examine multiple outcomes, including preterm births, infant cognition, and maternal depression.
