Application instructions 2024
For this call, it is the Head of Department who handles Uppsala University's internal prioritization, and signs the mandatory letter of support. The Research Advisors at Humsam's Research Support Unit can help you with formulating the letter.
When constructing a budget for BWS projects, Wallenberg's own budget template (only in Swedish) must be used. The researcher should contact his departmental economist early on to discuss the items in the budget and to complete a draft budget. The draft is sent to the Financial Administration and Procurement Division (FAPD) that will review the budget and fill in the specific indirect cost percentages. Note that it is very common that adjustments to the budget need to be made after the FAPD's review. It is therefore important to respect the deadlines that have been set.
In the "Links"-box above there is a template for the letter of support, and also documentation that can help you to describe the goals and strategies for the disciplinary domain and for the University in the letter of support.
If you have questions, contact Oddný Notstrand at Humsam's Research Support Unit.
