Deadline: 15 April 2024
Apply for the SSMF Consolidator Grant Program, a five-year grant that gives prominent researchers the opportunity to strengthen their position as independent researchers.
The grant is applied for by an individual researcher active at a Swedish university. Only Swedish universities and colleges can be specified as grant administrators in the application. Before the call opens, be sure to discuss the terms and budget details with your intended grant administrator to ensure that you have long-term support for your research.
The grant can be used for research in all medical fields. SSMF supports basic research as well as applied research.
Funding Information
- The total grant amount is SEK 11,000,000 including indirect costs. The grant period is five years and the disposition period for the grant is six years. Awarded grants are commenced on January 1 the year following the application.
Eligibility
- With the SSMF Consolidator Grant, SSMF seeks to provide support to researchers who intend to advance an independent and previously initiated research trajectory. Applicants must demonstrate their eligibility for consideration within the consolidation phase, and the grant’s allocation should have a meaningful impact on the ongoing development of their research group.
- To be eligible to apply for the SSMF Consolidator Grant, your doctoral degree must be awarded at least 7 years and no more than 12 years before the end of the application period. The time is calculated from the date of defense of thesis. Deductible time can be accepted with a total of 24 months for sick and parental leave, AT/ST service and military service.
- Please note that the person who has been granted a consolidator grant from another national (e.g. VR) or international funding body (e.g. ERC) is not eligible for the SSMF Consolidator Grant. SSMF does not approve that applicants who are granted funding through SSMF Consolidator Grant and a consolidator grant from ERC, VR or grants of equivalent size in the same year, accept both grants. Consolidator grants that mainly cover the applicant’s salary (e.g. local consolidators such as KI consolidator, the Cancer Foundation’s 6-year senior investigator grant) and smaller grants intended for the target group 7-12 years after the defense can be accepted.
