Development research

The Swedish Research Council has decided on the applications to be awarded grants within development research 2019. Our total grant amount for 2020-2022 is 157 billion SEK.

As we have been waiting for notification on the development aid budget, we have previously been unable to grant applications within the 2019 call for development research. On 28 November 2019, we published a list of the projects that were recommended for funding. Now, on 9 January 2020, we can confirm these preliminary decisions.

Decision published 14:00 28 November 2019
