What Types of Projects are Eligible for Funding?

The Foundation exclusively allocates grants for projects falling within the scope of its defined objectives. The project outcomes are expected to yield a positive impact on a broader demographic and are anticipated to be disseminated through public publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Applications are welcomed from universities, colleges, hospitals, and other public institutions in Sweden.

Only projects affiliated with Swedish organizations or their equivalents are eligible for application. In certain instances, projects conducted abroad may also be considered for application. Private individuals may seek support for projects provided they meet the specified criteria. The Foundation does not extend support to industrial projects or ongoing operations, nor does it provide aid to individuals for the procurement of assistive devices or livelihood grants.
