Funding Opportunities
Stipendium för ukrainska forskare
SSMF (Svenska Sällskapet för Medicinsk Forskning) has allocated 10 million Swedish kronor to support Ukrainian citizens working in medical research who have come to Sweden after the outbreak of war in 2022. The grant provides financial support for Ukrainian students, doctoral candidates, and postdocs to conduct research at Swedish universities or research institutes. The funding can be applied for by doctoral researchers who have ongoing research grants from SSMF with project disposition rights. Support can be granted for a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 12 months with the possibility of extension. The grant recipient must be provided with a research position at a Swedish university or research institute during the project period. The program enables SSMF researchers to host a guest researcher from war-torn Ukraine.
SSMF Travel Grant
The Swedish Society for Medical Research (SSMF) offers travel grants for doctoral students active in preclinical and clinical medical research in Sweden. The grant supports up to 50,000 SEK and can be awarded a maximum of three times to the same individual. The grants are intended to cover personal costs for travel and accommodation in connection with visits to other research institutions or clinics for studies of significance to the doctoral student's own research project. Examples include travel to learn new methodologies, collect research data, or other similar purposes. The grant is tax-free and paid directly to the recipient. Doctoral students registered at a Swedish university with at least one peer-reviewed original publication are eligible to apply. The research article must have been published after registration as a doctoral student or in connection with doctoral studies, and in such cases at most one year before registration as a doctoral student. The grants are not awarded for courses, conference or congress travel, materials, printing or other operational costs, nor for per diem or compensation for food costs during the period.
SSMF Postdoctoral Grant

The grant is intended for postdoctoral research in medical science and can be applied for on a full-time or part-time basis. Part-time grants are intended for individuals who are clinically active in their regular positions, such as physicians. The grant must be administered by a Swedish university or college, and the grant recipient must be employed by or affiliated with the grant administrator and registered in Sweden throughout the entire grant period. For full-time grants, international applicants spend years 1-2 abroad and year 3 in Sweden, while national applicants spend all 3 years in Sweden. Part-time grants are national only, with 3 years in Sweden combining research with 50% clinical practice. The grant aims at scientific advancement and reaching qualifications such as associate professorship.

The SSMF Starting Grant is a four-year establishment grant for younger researchers in medicine. It aims to give younger, promising medical researchers the opportunity to establish themselves and become independent researchers. The grant is intended for those with postdoctoral qualifications and includes salary funds and associated operating grants. Research can be conducted full-time, or half-time in combination with half-time clinical service, for example for research physicians. The grant can be used for research in all medical areas, supporting both basic and applied research. The grant period is four years and the disposition time for the grant is five years.
SSMF Consolidator Grant
The SSMF Consolidator Grant is a five-year research grant designed to support outstanding medical researchers in strengthening their position as independent investigators. The grant aims to support researchers who are in the consolidation phase and intend to further develop an already initiated and independent line of research. The grant provides significant funding to enable continued development of research groups. Applicants must be affiliated with a Swedish university or higher education institution, and only Swedish universities and colleges can be designated as grant administrators. The grant can be used for research in all medical fields, supporting both basic and applied research.
