The Elsevier Foundation has launched a series of new programs to improve health information delivery, research ecosystems in developing countries, and diversity in science, technology and medicine (STM); a total annual contribution of $1 million.
Through 2018, the Elsevier Foundation will build on its experience with a new program aligned with key aspects of the newly ratified Sustainable Development Goals of the UN (SDGs): achieving gender equality, ensuring healthy lives, reducing inequality and bridging the North-South divide in scientific collaboration.
The Elsevier Foundation has collaborated with global and local partners in the non-profit community for over a decade, supporting over a hundred grants and five million dollars for researchers in developing countries, advancing women in science, and combatting a global shortage in nurses.
The new Elsevier Foundation Programs in 2016-2018 include: Innovations in Health Information;
Diversity and Inclusion in STM; and Research Ecosystems & Sustainability.
The new Elsevier Foundation programs have evolved from a decade of philanthropic work to advance the status of women in science and support researchers in developing countries. The new programs will join the Foundation's longstanding Nurse Faculty Leadership Academy partnership and the employee gift-matching program.
