Free research
The largest part of the funding are within free research, which means grants that are not limited to a particular area.
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.
Please note that grants for research infrastructure are not reported on this page.
