Statistics for 2009–2022
National government pays out the money via the universities, but it is the regions that have to do the financial reporting. The financial report shall show how the funds have been allocated across premises costs, salary costs and other running costs. The report shall then form part of the universities’ annual reporting.
The payment is divided up into two parts: ALF payments for clinical research and ALF payments for educating physicians.
Where do the statistics come from?
The figures on this page are based on data from the table appendix “Redovisning av anslaget för klinisk utbildning och forskning” (“Report on the appropriation for clinical education and research”) in the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education’s and the Swedish Higher Education Authority’s annual reports for the budget years 2009–2022. As the data is taken from the universities’ annual reports, it is the names of these that are listed in the statistics.
The regions’ financial reports do not always tally to the last krona with what they have been allocated from national government; instead there is often a slight surplus or shortfall. The diagrams therefore show the ALF payments in two ways: amounts paid out and reported costs

* The reporting includes payments for odontological education and research. In 2021, the payment was 86.9 million SEK to the University of Gothenburg and 74.5 million SEK to Umeå University.

The regions allocate the payments in different ways
The ALF agreement is supplemented with regional agreements between the universities and regions, regulating items such as prioritisation and allocation of the ALF payments. This means that each region prioritises and allocates the funds in slightly different ways.
In principle, it could be said that there are two main tracks that are used wholly or in part when allocating ALF funds. One is allocation according to applications for funds from individual researchers or research teams, the other is allocation according to key figures based on various key measures of research quality, such as number of publications, doctoral degree awards and docentships. Furthermore, the regions have differing strategies for how the ALF payment is allocated to premises costs, salary costs and other running costs.
