Plan your project
Aspects such as impact, external collaborations and co-funding should be considered when planning your project.
Find your funder
To fund your project, there is a range of funding agencies available, both nationally and internationally.
Develop your proposal
Developing the proposal involves many things beyond the actual research idea, such as budget, impact and data management.
Post-award activities
When your project has been funded, it must be managed and reported, and obtained results should be shared with others.
Planning to apply to the Wallenberg Foundations, the EU or American funding agencies?
These funders have particular regulations that you and the university must follow when you apply for and/or receive grants from them. Read more below about what applies to each funder, and make sure to contact Research Support. Research Support also offers extra help in the application process for these funders.
The Wallenberg Foundations
Most often, the University must nominate projects or researchers for these calls. The selection is made through an internal prioritization process.
EU-funding
The European Commission offers many funding programs, where Horizon Europe is EU's ongoing framework program for research and innovation, for the period 2021-2027.
U.S. funding
It is mandatory for you as a researcher to contact Research Support well in advance when you plan to apply for U.S. funding.
