Call funding for research, enabling opportunity for sabbatical

The call aims to strengthen the research and/or doctoral studies at the faculty.

To be eligible to apply, the applicant must have a permanent position as an actively researching professor or associate professor (universitetslektor). The application is made in consultation with the head of the applicant's department.
A permanent employment as professor/associate professor (universitetslektor) is required to be eligible for a 3-12 month long research sabbatical (continuous period).

FON recommends that funding for a sabbatical should only be granted:

1. if the application includes a research plan of high quality (the research plan should focus on the research that is to be done during the sabbatical) and
2. if the planned project clearly benefits from the long-term stay at the university and
3. if the application includes a distinct description of how the research and/or doctoral education at the Faculty of Medicine, Umeå university, benefit from the sabbatical.

The length of the sabbatical must be justified in the application.
