What happens after the grant decision?

Decision and final statement in Prisma

A few days after the grant decision has been published, you can see the decision and final statement for your application on your account in Prisma. A message is shown on Prisma’s starting page under the heading “Tasks”.

How to find the final statement:

Go to tab “Applications and grants”
Select “Applications” in the left-hand menu
Click on "Details"

Note! Your research colleagues may receive their decisions and final statements before you receive yours, or vice versa.

All applications receive final statements that contain grades for all evaluation criteria. A certain proportion of the applications with the lowest grades are not discussed in detail at the panel meeting, and will therefore not receive detailed written comments on the grades. This enables more in-depth discussion of applications that have a reasonable chance of being funded.

Approval of terms and conditions – must be signed

If your application has been approved, the document “Approval of terms and conditions” will be published on your account in Prisma. It describes the terms and conditions for the grant. You and the head of department (or corresponding) must sign the “Approval of terms and conditions” as soon as possible – but no later than after 30 days.

Note! The document “Approval of terms and conditions” (Godkännande av villkor) is published in Prisma within five days after the grant decision has been published.

When does payment of the grant start?

The first payment will normally be made during January. The grant is then paid out monthly, provided the “Approval of terms and conditions” have been signed.

Is it possible to delay the project start?

Yes, it is up to you and your employer to agree on when the project shall start, as long as this does not affect the grant’s availability period – the period during which you are allowed to use the grant.

For research project grants, this usually means that you must start the project within 1 year.

How your application has been assessed

You can read more about how your application has been assessed in the call text under “How your application is assessed”. You can find a link to the call on the right-hand side of this page.
