For a longer research stay at a foreign institution, the maximum amount is 48,000 SEK, the amount depends on where you travel and how long the research stay lasts.

Travel grants must be requested no later than 6 months after the decision date. Grants that are not requested on time will be returned to the respective fund.

The applicant's signature and certification by the head of department/clinic manager or equivalent must be on the request. No later than 1 month after the trip has ended, a short travel report and a financial statement must be written into the application. Verifications/receipts up to the granted amount are scanned and uploaded to the application. Compensation for subsistence (increased living expenses), overhead costs and the like will not be granted .

During the Christmas holidays, no travel grants are processed.

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.
