In the coming years the Swedish Cancer Society (Cancerfonden) plans to announce larger grants for research: SEK 3-10 million/year, maximum SEK 30 million over 3-5 years. The size of the grants aims to enable cost-intensive projects that are difficult to finance within the framework of ordinary grants.
In 2023 the extra call is for clinical treatment studies in cancer. Eligible to apply are researchers who have previously held hold from the Swedish Cancer Society, as well as those who currently hold ordinary project grants from the Swedish Cancer Society and plan to apply for continuation grants during 2023-2025.
Researchers with existing grants from the Swedish Cancer Society must clearly describe how the requested support of the extra calls relates to and possibly overlaps scientifically and financially with ongoing ordinary projects or with applications for ordinary projects.
In February-March 2023 the Swedish Cancer Society organises a couple of informational webinars aimed at all applicants for the spring application round, with focus on the extra call for clinical treatment studies in cancer.
More information about the extra calls can be found here (in Swedish): Grants for researchers – information clinical studies.
