Funding Opportunities
Framtidens vårdsystem 2026 (THCS) - Access to care
The European partnership Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) opens its fourth transnational call focused on Access to care. Forte allocates 15 million Swedish kronor to this call. The purpose is to finance research and innovation projects that contribute to equitable access to and use of healthcare. Projects should also provide decision-makers and other responsible parties with the knowledge and tools needed to reallocate resources when healthcare systems face new and ongoing challenges. Funded projects should build on existing knowledge to develop innovative solutions that help key actors reduce inequalities in access to and use of healthcare services. Projects should examine how access to care at all levels can be improved through financial models, models for care delivery, and development of interdisciplinary and integrated care programs.
Vård och omsorg för personer med demenssjukdom 2027
This is an upcoming research funding opportunity from Forte focused on dementia care and support.

Through the research proposition 2024/25:60, the Swedish government tasked Forte with investing a total of 239 million Swedish kronor over four years on research about care and support for people with dementia. The call is scheduled to open in autumn 2026, close in winter 2026, with decisions announced in spring 2027. All information is currently preliminary and final details will be published when the call officially opens.

Samverkan i praktiken för psykisk hälsa 2026
This grant call welcomes practice-based research on promoting, preventive, and early interventions for mental health, as well as effective interventions, methods, and treatments for mental ill-health. Collaboration with the public sector or civil society is a requirement and should permeate the entire research process. The funding is part of Sweden's national research program on mental health and aims to support research that not only enhances understanding of mental health issues but also actively contributes to solutions and improvements. Projects should align with Sweden's national strategy for mental health and suicide prevention. Research can focus on mental health broadly, ranging from psychological well-being to psychological distress and psychiatric conditions, at both societal and individual levels, and across all age groups.
Collaboration in Practice for Mental Health 2026
The call welcomes practice-oriented research within promotion, prevention, and early interventions for mental health, as well as effective interventions, methods, and treatments for mental ill-health and illness. Collaboration with the public sector or civil society is a requirement and must permeate the entire research process. The call invites practice-oriented research relating to two priority areas: promotive, preventive, and early interventions for mental health, and practice-oriented research on effective interventions, methods, and treatments for mental ill-health and mental disorders. Applications are invited across the spectrum of mental health, from well-being to psychological distress and psychiatric illnesses, at both individual and societal levels and across all ages. All research funded under this call must be conducted in collaboration with the public sector or civil society, with partners involved in planning, study design, data collection and analysis, as well as interpretation, dissemination, and implementation of results. Research should generate tangible benefits for patients and practice, address societal challenges in the field, and support the implementation of the priority actions outlined in the national strategy on mental health and suicide prevention.
