3.6 billion to research and research infrastructures
A total of 3.6 billion SEK was allocated for the next five-year period. As before, by far the largest proportion of the funds (excluding infrastructure support) went to independent research project grants, 2.5 billion SEK in total. In addition to this, 900 million SEK went to the other grants included in the general call for research proposals, such as focused research project grants and grants to prominent junior researchers.

|---|---|
Natural and engineering science | 1 200 |
Medicine and health | 829 |
Interdisciplinary grants* | 549 |
Humanities and social sciences | 433 |
Educational sciences | 198 |

15 percent of all applications were approved
In total, 5 621 applications were received. Of these 824 were approved. This gives an approval rate of 15 percent. The majority of the applications is for project research grants.
Women and men
One of the Swedish Research Council´s goals for achieving gender equality within our area of activities is to have the same approval rate and the same average grant amount for women and for men.
Of all applications (excluding infrastructure applications), 1 973 came from women, of which 292 were granted. The corresponding figures for men were 3 648 applications and 532 granted. Grant rate for women as well as men is 15 percent.
The reason why infrastructure applications is not included in the above figures, is that the grants do not go to individual researchers but to tools accessible to all researchers at higher education institutions nationwide.
