Grant for competence programme in clinical therapy research

The purpose of the grant is to strengthen the competence of researchers who wish to conduct randomised clinical trials and can be applied for by an organisation (a Swedish HEI or a Swedish region). The program should have a national scope and offer education relevant to researchers with a PhD from across Sweden who are employed within a region or at an academic institution.

The goal is to disseminate and increase knowledge about how to conduct randomised clinical trials in Sweden—for example, regulations and permit applications, public involvement, statistical analysis, patient recruitment, and project management. The competence program is expected to encourage more researchers to successfully plan, develop study designs, and conduct randomised clinical trials.
