Medicinsk Forskning

Stiftelsen Maja & J.P. Åhlén provides grants for medical research in Sweden focused on specific neurological and psychiatric conditions. The foundation awards grants up to 450,000 SEK, occasionally higher, for research conducted at established research institutions in Sweden. The grants are primarily intended to cover costs for materials and equipment in laboratory research, with overhead costs permitted up to 23%.

In 2025, the foundation received 135 medical research applications and awarded 59 grants ranging from 150,000 SEK to 450,000 SEK, distributing a total of 12,883,000 SEK. Applications are accepted annually during August 1 to September 15, with decisions made in November and notifications sent before year-end.
