Now you who work clinically in primary care and at the same time conduct research can apply for funding for 2026. The Stockholm County Healthcare Area's Research and Development Committee is announcing three targeted initiatives - for clinical researchers in healthcare research, general medicine and doctoral students. The aim is to strengthen research in primary care and create better conditions for knowledge that directly benefits patients.
Projects should support healthcare improvement, sustainable public transport, regional growth, or cultural life—all key priorities of Region Stockholm .
Initiatives tied to EU cohesion policy, focusing on innovation in SMEs, environmental sustainability, and low-carbon solutions, align well .
Funding mechanisms like the SOF dental research grants require partnerships between Karolinska Institutet (KI) and Stockholm County dental care providers, ideally including doctoral or postdoc staff .
EU programs emphasize cross-border, multi-stakeholder consortia with academia, industry, and public sector partners
Stockholm is Europe’s most knowledge-intensive and innovation-driven region (outside North America), with strong activity in life sciences, climate, environmental sciences, and digital transformation .
Proposals should clearly articulate novelty and transformative potential, ideally in growth areas like biotech, health-tech, and sustainability.
Healthcare projects must operate within the Region Stockholm healthcare system, demonstrating realistic implementation and scalability .
For clinical research—e.g., dental studies—teams should include qualified PIs and collaborators tied to both KI and county providers, with clear roles .
Fast-response readiness for EU calls and cohesion-funded schemes is crucial; Region Stockholm’s EU Office is actively advocating and coordinating these programs .
Local seed grants (e.g., Stockholm Trio–UCL seed funding) expect proposals with international engagement and sustainability beyond the initial funding
Capitalize on existing regional strengths: SciLifeLab, KI, KTH, SU, and specialized corridors like Hagastaden-Kista-Uppsala
Projects that use core facilities, tech platforms, and coordinate with infrastructure-rich environments receive higher priority.
Map your proposal to region-wide objectives—public health, transport, culture, or economic growth.
Build multi-institutional consortia—include researchers from KI, KTH, SU, healthcare providers, and ideally EU or UK partners.
Highlight innovation, scalability, and sustainability, particularly in life sciences, climate, or smart-city solutions.
Demonstrate implementation capacity—show institutional support and alignment with regional systems.
Be agile and EU-ready—stay updated via Region Stockholm’s EU Office and plan for quick submissions.
Utilize existing infrastructure—reference core labs, science corridors, and programs like SciLifeLab.
Plan for longer-term impact—pipeline from seed/clinical studies to broader implementation or scale-up.
🧭 In Summary
To succeed with Region Stockholm funding, propose innovative, regionally relevant projects that are collaborative, institutionally grounded, EU-savvy, and leveraged by strong infrastructure. Emphasize how your work addresses regional strategic goals and delivers tangible, sustainable impact.
Applications are open to licensed healthcare professionals who hold a PHD and with permanent employment in Region stockholm's primary care.
