The Sjöberg Foundation pays contributions to research projects and awards the Sjöberg Prize – an international scholarship of approximately USD 1 million to cancer researchers. The foundation also provides grants for building a national biobank for cancer research (PPMC) and patient overviews for the entire country.
During the year 2023, the Sjöberg Foundation provides grants for research in the areas of:
- Preventive measures and care including complementary and integrative medicine and measures against long-term complications
- Early diagnosis and difficult-to-treat cancer with poor prognosis and also “drug repurposing”.
The application must have a strong connection between translational and clinical research with the involvement of well-functioning quality registers and biobanks linked to concrete clinical issues, preferably within the framework of national clinical studies. Other types of multiprofessional clinical collaboration may also be relevant, such as studies relating to care and therapy-oriented studies.
The foundation welcomes (according to the donor’s wishes) applications relating to unconventional medicines/treatment methods.
The last application date for submitting project proposals is March 31, 2023. This year, project proposals must be submitted directly to the foundation via an electronic application system on the website www.sjobergstiftelsen.se. See under the grants tab.
Those admitted to the second round must submit the second part of their applications (grant application) no later than September 10, 2023.
