SRP Diabetes Blue Sky Grants
This new initiative is for projects in diabetes and metabolism research for well-defined innovative pilot projects that aim to demonstrate proof of principle.
The project should be of a "high risk – high reward" type that cannot yet attract funding from conventional funding agencies. The aim should be to obtain proof of principle and thereby provide the basis to obtain other funding. The project should not be a continuation or expansion of already funded projects. Preliminary data is not required in the proposal, but the underlying concept, premise or hypothesis must be plausible and testable, and the proposal must be focused with a well-defined goal that is achievable within the timeframe and amount of the award.
Grants are for one year and amounts to 500 000 SEK + 25% INDI. Call opens on World Diabetes Day, November 14, 2024. Deadline to apply January 30, 2025.
