Uppstartsbidrag för multicenterstudier av barncancer - Barncancerfonden
Barncancerfonden utlyser uppstartsbidrag för internationella, fas III/IV multicenterstudier för behandling av barncancer för att snabbt komma igång med studierna i Sverige och att fler barn i Sverige ska ges möjlighet att delta i en studie. Anslag beviljas som ett engångsanslag för att täcka kostnader i samband med uppstart av studier i Sverige. Studien ska vara behandlad i relevant vårdplaneringsgrupp med protokollfört beslut att studien skall vara nationell rekommendation.
Söks av enskild forskare (huvudsökande) med sin huvudsakliga verksamhet i Sverige. Anslaget är tänkt att täcka kostnader för den administration som är nödvändig innan studien kan starta i Sverige, exempelvis kostnader för ansökan till etikprövningsmyndighet och läkemedelsverk, arbetstid samt kostnader för regulatoriskt och juridiskt stöd. Uppstartsbidraget uppgår till maximalt 400 000 kr.
Closing date: can be applied for throughout the year.
Utlysning av medel för alkoholforskning
Systembolagets Alkoholforskningsråd delar årligen ut anslag till olika forskningsprojekt. Samhällsvetenskaplig och folkhälsovetenskaplig alkoholforskning prioriteras, tillsammans med forskning som är av särskild betydelse för det förebyggande arbetet mot alkoholskador. Från och med 2017 delas tio miljoner kronor ut per år, varav två miljoner viks för fokusområden som har identifierats som särskilt angelägna och där mer forskning behövs. Alkoholforskningsrådet ser gärna ansökningar från yngre forskare.
Rådet administreras av Centralförbundet för alkohol- och narkotikaupplysning (CAN).

ERC Synergy Grants call coming soon!
The next call for applications for ERC Synergy Grant (officially ERC-2024-SyG) is due to open on 12th July, 2023, with a deadline on 8th November, 2023. The ERC Work Programme and ‘Information for Applicants’ guide will be released when the call opens in July.
These are very competitive grants, and preparations for applying should be made well in advance. Please contact Tamsin Lindström at KI Grants Office for more information if you are interested in applying for an ERC Synergy Grant with KI as host institution.
What proposals are eligible?
Applications can be made in any field of research but must demonstrate that the proposed research cannot be carried out by a single PI working alone. Synergy projects should enable substantial advances at the frontiers of knowledge, stemming, for example, from the cross-fertilisation of scientific fields, from new productive lines of enquiry, or new methods and techniques, including unconventional approaches and investigations at the interface between established disciplines. Proposals will be evaluated on the sole criterion of scientific excellence, including outstanding synergy. These are very competitive grants. Please consult the ERC Synergy project summaries.
Who can apply?
ERC Synergy Grants fund small groups of two to four PIs working in an integrated fashion to bring together different skills and resources to tackle ambitious research problems. PIs must present an early achievement track-record or a ten-year track-record, whichever is most appropriate (please consult the lists of ERC Synergy grantees). One PI per 'Synergy Grant group' at any one time can be hosted or engaged by an institution outside of the EU or Associated Countries.
How much?
Synergy Grants can be up to a maximum of € 10 million for a period of 6 years. An additional € 4 million can be requested under certain circumstances.
Excellence award --Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS), INT
These awards are intended to support research projects in the molecular life sciences from early-career group leaders by providing funding f of 100 000 Euros for research equipment and consumables over 3 years.
Closing date: 01 July 2023
Quest for cures - collaborative discovery teams -- Brain Tumour Charity, GB
The Brain Tumour Charity is seeking innovative approaches to address the critical questions that could present a paradigm shift for brain tumour research or use unexplored paths to allow for new discoveries to be made.
Funding for collaborative discovery teams with transformational research ideas. The scheme aims to bring benefits to patients faster by acknowledging the importance of interdisciplinary team approaches in accelerating the understanding and translation of discoveries.
This funding for pre-clinical studies aims to:
- foster a collaborative research process
- strengthen the ties between basic and clinical research
- promote transformational brain tumour research advances with the potential for rapid clinical translation.
Funding of up to £1.5 million per programme over five years is available. The award is open to international researchers but applications including a UK collaborator will be looked on favourably.
Closing date: 05 July 2023 (Stage 1 application, LOI)
