Grants you can apply for the same year
Do you want to apply for several grants from us in the same year? This is possible for certain grants. The basic rule is that you can only submit one application for each research project. But in certain cases, you may submit several applications, for example if they relate to different types of grants or different projects. You should always disclose this in your applications to us.
The table in the link below provides information about what you can apply for simultaneously if you fulfil all other eligibility criteria. In some cases you also need to read more in the call texts to find out the applicable conditions.

Please note that if you submit multiple applications in violation of the applicable rules, we will handle the first application received and reject the others.
Grants you can apply for if you are already receiving a grant from us
If you are already a project leader for a grant from the Swedish Research Council, there are certain restrictions when you apply for a new grant with a grant period that overlaps the grant period for your ongoing grant.
The table in the link below has information about what you can apply for if you have such an ongoing grant. In some cases you also need to read more in the call texts to find out the applicable conditions.
Note: If you have been the project leader for previous grants from the Swedish Research Council that have ended, final financial reports for all of these must have been submitted within the permitted time frame in order for you to apply for a new grant.
By ended, we mean that both the grant period and the availability period for the grant have expired. Information about your grant can be found in the “Approval of terms and conditions” in Prisma. Please contact your administrating organisation if you are unsure whether all your final reports have been submitted.
Grants from other funding bodies
When you apply for a grant, your application must state
- whether your application concerns a project for which you or another researcher has already received grants from another funding body
- whether you or any other researcher has applied for funds for the same project idea from another funding body.
The same project with different applicants?
Submitting multiple applications to the Swedish Research Council (in the same call or different calls) for the same project with different applicants is not allowed. You can not submit an application for the same project for which you know someone else has already been granted funding from us.
What does ”the same project” mean?
Our starting point is that each application should be unique in its design and linked to the applicant’s competence to carry out the project or activity.
”The same project” in applications in the contexts described above means that there is substantial overlap in several or all of the following aspects. It concerns the application’s and the project’s
- research question
- preliminary data
- design
- materials and/or methods
- participating researchers or other collaborators
- budgeted/requested costs.
The Swedish Research Council assesses overlaps from the contents of the applications and the applicant’s own description of “Other applications and grants”.
