Ragnar Söderberg Foundation

Ragnar Söderberg Fellowship in Medicine

Five-year grants for researchers early in the career (doctoral degree completed within 4-6 years of call) with innovative ideas and high scientific competence. The purpose is to give future research leaders the opportunity to start their own research group and become independent through long-term funding.
