AI Based Application Success Predictor

🎯 1. Stronger Career Pathways for Clinician-Researchers

SLS highlights a critical gap: too few doctors continue research after their PhD, leading to a shortage of experienced supervisors .

Applications are stronger when tied to structured clinician-researcher roles, e.g., part-time clinical/academic positions, combined appointments, or mentorship with experienced faculty .

💊 2. Patient-Centered, Clinically Anchored Research

Proposals must clearly articulate how they address patient care or clinical questions within Swedish healthcare .

For travel or theses stipends, there must be a direct link to clinical relevance, conference presentation, research visit, or structured training.

🧪 3. Scientific Rigor & Feasibility

High-quality methods, robust design, and concrete premises like patient recruitment and ethical approval are essential .

Applicants need to show clear infrastructure, resources, and feasibility in terms of clinical integration.

👥 4. Track Record & Clinical Integration

Demonstrating qualifications—such as publications, experience, and formal integration into clinical practice—is critical .

Leadership and collaboration—especially combined clinical-research roles—are highly valued.

🤝 5. Institutional Membership & Endorsement

Applicants must be current members of SLS or affiliated local medical societies .

Institutional approval via the ResearchWeb portal is required, along with mentor letters and signed project plans.

📅 6. Adherence to Application Windows

Calls are published with strict cycles (typically September–February), and manual late submissions are not accepted.

Travel grants must be submitted at least two months before the event or research visit.

🌐 7. Supporting National Agendas & Interdisciplinarity

SLS encourages proposals aligned with national health objectives and the SDGs, such as climate-health, treatment research, and reducing inequality .

Interdisciplinary projects that bridge clinical practice with public health or policy are valued.
