Is a position in Sweden required to apply for funding from Jeanssons Stiftelser?
Yes. The application is open to young group leaders holding a position at a Swedish university or research institute. The foundation supports young scientists who have become independent and hold positions that include a salary paid by or through the university. Applicants who are not fully paid via their university are not eligible to apply.
I am currently doing my postdoc but will soon return to Sweden to establish my own research group. Can I still apply for support from Jeanssons Stiftelser?
Yes. Jeanssons Stiftelser supports young group leaders conducting research in Sweden. If you will soon return to Sweden to start your own group, you may submit an application. However, you must demonstrate a well-established affiliation with a department at a Swedish university.
Is parental leave considered by Jeanssons Stiftelser?
Yes. Parental leave is taken into account during the review process.
How can I use the funding from Jeanssons Stiftelser?
Awarded funding can be used for running costs and salaries (including stipends), in accordance with the host university’s regulations. The funds may not be used for the applicant’s own salary or for scholarships.
How should the budget be presented?
Please enter the total project cost in your budget, including running costs, salaries, and overhead costs. Jeanssons Stiftelser awards research grants in the form of fixed amounts, which may vary annually depending on the foundation’s financial situation.
Should overhead be included in the budget?
Yes. Overhead costs must be included in accordance with the host university’s regulations.
Will reviewers’ comments on my application be provided?
No. The decision is final and cannot be appealed. To maximize the number of grants awarded to young researchers, the review process is kept streamlined and reviewer comments are not shared.
