Svenska Sällskapet för Medicinsk Forskning offers travel stipends for doctoral students who are carrying out preclinical and clinical medical research in Sweden. The stipend is for a maximum of SEK 50,000, and is awarded a maximum of three times.
Doctoral students registred at a Swedish university with at least one peer-reviewed publication to their names are eligible to apply for the travel grant. Stipends are not awarded to researchers who have already defended their PhD thesis or to unregistered doctoral students.
The stipends are intended to cover additional personal expenses, such as tickets and housing, in connection with travel to another research institution or clinic for studies that are significant for the doctoral student’s own research project. Stipends are awarded, for example, for travel for the purpose of learning new methodology, collecting research data or other similar purposes. A personal invitation from the host institution, as well as a certificate from the chief supervisor must be attached.
The stipend can be applied for from February 15 to March 1, 2024.
