The Ellison Medical Foundation, established and supported by Lawrence J. Ellison, supports two areas of research: |
| 1. |
Aging
- Basic biomedical research on aging relevant to understanding aging processes and age-related diseases and disabilities. |
| 2. |
Global
Infectious Disease
- Basic research on molecular and cellular mechanisms of parasitic and
infectious diseases of major global public health importance, caused by
viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoal or helminthic pathogens. |
|
The foundation particularly wishes to stimulate new creative research
that might not be funded by traditional sources or that is often
under-funded in the U.S. The Ellison Medical Foundation fosters
research by means of grants-in-aid to investigators at universities and
laboratories within the United States using a variety of award
mechanisms including a New Scholars Program, Senior Scholars Program,
Conferences and Workshops Awards Program, a Training Program, and an
Infrastructure Awards Program.
Instructions for applying
for an award can be found on the
Applications and Receipt Dates page. For
a complete list of past award recipients, refer
to the Funded Scholars page.
Current
awardees can find templates for progress reports
on the Awardee Report Forms page
The
Ellison Medical Foundation is a non-profit corporation.
