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 molecular biological research on parasitology and infectious diseases of major global challenge that result from microbial, protozoan, or viral pathogenesis. |

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.
