Stiftelsen Söderström-Königska

The Söderström-Königska Foundation, established from the will of merchant Carl Christian Söderström in 1904, supports scientific research in psychiatry and psychiatric knowledge development. The foundation distributes grants primarily for research projects that promote psychiatric knowledge development across general psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, and forensic psychiatry. The board places great emphasis on benefits for patients with mental illness and research that addresses women's special situation in psychiatry. Low priority is given to applications with animal experimental focus. The foundation offers both project grants and postdoctoral support for clinically employed researchers within healthcare. Historically, the foundation typically awards grants up to 500,000 SEK. Applications can be written in Swedish or English, but the summary must be in Swedish.
