Scholars programs through August 1st. Sponsored by Elsevier, a

program supports the efforts of libraries in developing countries
to improve their ability to put scientific, technical and medical
information to work for those who need it. Past projects have
included: expanding library information resources through
digitization and knowledge preservation; training and education
programs for librarians and researchers; developed-developing
world partnerships to provide longer term technical assistance
and training.
The New Scholars
<http://www.elsevierfoundation.org/New%20Scholars%20guidelines.html>
program supports academic and research communities in creating
model programs to help scholars in the early stages of their
careers balance childcare and family responsibilities with
demanding academic careers in science, health and technology.
Grants awarded in 2007-8 have promoted institutional research,
advocacy, and policy development to retain, recruit and develop
women in science, as well as enabling researchers to attend
conferences critical to their careers, by assisting with
childcare, mentorship and networking.
Active since 2002, the Elsevier Foundation provides grants to
institutions around the world, with a focus on supporting the
world's libraries and scholars in the early stages of their
careers. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded more
than 50 grants worth over a million dollars to non-profit
organizations working in these fields.
