SLS projekt

SLS projekt provides funding for medical research projects to early career researchers in Sweden. The grant supports one-year or two-year research projects for physicians who have completed their PhD within the last 10 years and are members of the Swedish Society of Medicine (Svenska Läkaresällskapet) or a member association. One-year projects receive funding of approximately 350,000 SEK, while two-year projects can receive up to 600,000 SEK. The funding can be used for materials, equipment, and personnel costs, though not for salary compensation for the principal investigator or co-applicants. Projects must be conducted at a Swedish university or other relevant authority, and overhead costs are included in the grant amount. The program emphasizes clinical relevance and requires patient benefit to be clearly described in applications. Recipients are required to acknowledge the Swedish Society of Medicine in publications and submit both scientific and financial reports upon project completion.
