Description

Funding is available for research projects with high scientific potential. A project must have a freestanding purpose and not merely constitute auxiliary funding for current operations or other projects in progress. For subjects in which research is generic in nature, such as mathematics, a project can consist of joint concept development. The Foundation primarily grants funding in natural sciences, technology and medicine. Projects in other disciplines may receive support on the condition that they are related to research questions of relevance to natural sciences, technology and medicine. The Foundation supports investigator-initiated projects of the highest international standard. The project must focus on a coherent academic research question. High-priority projects include new research areas and research that is interdisciplinary in nature. Eligibility PIs must have a long-term association with a Swedish institution of higher education, and spend at least 70 % of their position and working time in Sweden. Co-investigators must spend at least 50 % of their position and working time in Sweden. An application can be made by a project group consisting of two to five researchers.
