  Every minute, a baby is born prematurely. In nearly 50% of these births, the causes are unknown. Scientific research is of paramount importance to unfolding those mysteries. The March of Dimes has long been committed to finding the answers and, for many years, has funded researchers looking into the biological mechanisms through which risk factors act.
