Supporting research and healthcare communities for a brighter tomorrow

Human progress happens best when every member of the scientific and healthcare communities makes their mark. That is why we are committed to advancing inclusive research and healthcare in partnership with the communities we serve. In addition to funding, Elsevier supports the work of the Foundation through its networks, data, analytical insights and employee contributions to greatly expand our impact. Through the Foundation's Matching Gift program, employees are also able to donate to charities of their choice.

Our support of the Elsevier Foundation is an integral part of our commitment to help advance science and healthcare to advance human progress. We are humbled to celebrate two decades of impact and to contribute our resources, trusted content, data and analytics, as well as the passion of our colleagues globally, to boost the impact of our inclusive research and health partnerships.

Los programas de la Fundación abordan retos clave en materia de investigación, salud y representación insuficiente identificados por los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas. Las alianzas que apoyamos son muy intersectoriales y ponen de relieve nuestro compromiso de ayudar a las comunidades desfavorecidas de todo el mundo a mejorar sus resultados en materia de salud y a crear un ecosistema de investigación más sostenible. En los últimos 20 años, la fundación Elsevier ha aportado más de 18 millones de dólares en becas para ayudar a más de 100 socios en más de 70 países de todo el mundo.

20 years of impact

For 20 years, the Elsevier Foundation has been a catalyst for inclusive research and health partnerships, supporting impact makers to accelerate early-stage interventions that underpin long-term change. Our mission remains more relevant than ever as our communities work to address grand challenges facing our world such as the impact of climate change and health disparities.

El progreso es más efectivo cuando cada agente de cambio puede dejar su huella, apoyándose en sus comunidades, pasadas y presentes, para construir un mejor futuro. Por ello, la Elsevier Foundation colabora con las comunidades científicas y de salud, impulsando proyectos innovadores en etapas tempranas que catalizan intervenciones sistémicas para fortalecer la participación y el desarrollo de capacidades en investigación y atención sanitaria a nivel mundial.

Nuestro enfoque genera un efecto multiplicador y promueve resultados positivos mediante acciones concretas. La colaboración es clave para abordar desafíos complejos e interconectados que impactan a nuestras comunidades y al planeta.

Interdisciplinary research is vital for empowering future leaders and making progress towards the UN SDGs. The Elsevier Foundation’s work to build inclusive health and research partnerships not only supports innovative applications of science and technology, but also new ways of addressing societal challenges and improving health outcomes.

Interdisciplinary research that creates future leaders and drives progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Researchers and healthcare workers can make the biggest impact when they build on each other’s work. The Elsevier Foundation supports continuous discovery in research and health through more than 20 partnerships a year. The OWSD-Elsevier Foundation awards spotlight excellent scientists from low-income countries, and our Chemistry for Climate Action Challenge finds solutions to the climate crisis.

In each instance, the increased visibility on these researchers helps take their impact further. Our partnership with Aidsfonds tackles the rising HIV epidemic in Indonesia, and we work with Concern Worldwide in Somalia to strengthen health systems in response to food insecurity. In India, our project with Swasti mobilizes community health workers to address the impacts of extreme weather, and with the Falling Walls Foundation, we support talented women in science to take their next career step. 

As the Elsevier Foundation looks to the future, we continue to refine and enhance our programs to address the evolving needs of the global research community, ultimately contributing to a sustainable and equitable future for all.

We offer our partners very targeted proof-of-concept funding — giving them the opportunity to show the world that their idea works. We also roll up our sleeves with joint outreach, content and analytics so that they can ultimately make a bigger impact and contribute to real system change.
