The Sjöberg Prize for cancer research is awarded to a scientist or a group of scientists who have made a fundamental discovery that is expected to advance our knowledge about disease mechanisms, prevention or treatment of cancer. This Sjöberg Prize is based on a donation from the late businessman Bengt Sjöberg and awarded jointly by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Sjöberg Foundation. It amounts to 1 million US dollars of which 1/10 is a personal award, with the remainder being used for research.
The regulations regarding the prize stipulate that the nominated scientist is presently conducting high-quality cancer research and is below 60 years of age. Nominations will be treated confidentially and managed by a prize committee elected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Please contact info@sjobergprize.se to get your personal pin-code to be able to nominate. Nominations of a scientist or a group of scientists must be made by individuals and submitted electronically at: https://portal.sjobergprize.se
Sahlgrenska Academy can nominate up to 5 persons for the prize.
