To further develop in gastrosurgery
Scholarship for those who are members of SKF (Swedish Surgical Association) and want to further develop themselves in gastrosurgery.
The scholarship of SEK 50,000 can be applied for auscultation or research stay at another clinic, or for a clinical project to stimulate further education and research in gastrosurgery (does not apply to congress travel).
Application
The application must be in Swedish. Attach CV and project description (max. one A4) and attach any invitation from the clinic to be visited.
SLS highlights a critical gap: too few doctors continue research after their PhD, leading to a shortage of experienced supervisors.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
