Call for Strategic research grants funded by the Faculty of Medicine 2021

    23 March 2021

    The Faculty of Medicine announces up to ten 3-year research grants of 700 000 SEK/year. The call is open for all research areas within the Faculty and aims to strengthen research and the competitiveness of researchers to attract external grants. The three-year grants will be allotted between review panel 1 and 2 depending on submitted applications to these. Apply no later than May 27.

    The grant may be used for salaries (doctoral students, postdocs or other employees), infrastructures or for covering running costs.

    The target group for the call is researchers with competitive research projects that are yet to be financed by regional grants (financial means) from the university/ALF/TUA or Region Västerbotten (RV) and that is not one of the faculty's top researchers concerning ongoing, large external grants (as defined in this call).

    The applicant will select whether the application should be reviewed by Review panel 1, which will review the application using the criteria of the Swedish Research Council (VR) for scientific quality, or by Review panel 2, which will review the application using the criteria for scientific quality, and societal relevance as used by Forte/Formas.

    Only one application per applicant can be submitted; consequently, the applicant has to choose whether the application should be reviewed by Review panel 1 or 2. The applicant is fully responsible for sending the application to the correct review panel: B1, FS 2.1.6-373-21 (B1), or B2, FS 2.1.6-374-21 (B2).
