Projekt (Project Grant)

The Swedish Cancer Society's Project Grant funds cancer research that can lead to better understanding, prevention, earlier diagnosis, or more effective and gentle treatment of cancer diseases (including palliative and rehabilitative treatment). The perspective is very broad and applications are welcomed from researchers in many different fields including medicine, nursing science, pharmacy, natural sciences, technology, social sciences, public health sciences, and behavioral and communication sciences. Project grants are primarily intended for researchers with PhDs who have scientific merits corresponding to associate professor competence and/or independence as a research leader (PI). Applicants must have defended their doctoral thesis before January 1, 2023. The grant is awarded as a framework grant for personnel and operational costs and can be used for stipends, doctoral positions, etc., but not for the applicant's own salary or for permanent lecturer or professor salaries.
