Apply for a research grant
Our research programme is designed to support young researchers as well as established scientists and institutions in their efforts to find a cure for diabetes. The Foundation is actively looking for research projects in Sweden and around the world that will eventually lead to improved treatment methods and, hopefully, a working cure for people with diabetes.

Diabetes Wellness Sweden's research strategy is to fund projects that focus on:
- Prevention, complications and treatment of diabetes
- Causes of diabetes
- Cures for diabetes
Priority is given to funding research that has a strong impact on both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and projects that can ultimately benefit people with diabetes. This reflects the wishes of our donors and is the purpose of the Foundation. The ultimate goal is to find a working cure for people with diabetes.
Two types of research grants
The Foundation's research grants are divided into two types
- Project Grant is a grant of up to SEK 1 million per year for up to 2 years. The purpose is to fund all or most of a research project.
- Innovation in Diabetes Research Grants is a one-year grant of up to SEK 200,000 for researchers at the beginning of their research careers who wish to start smaller research projects.
Each year, the Foundation invites researchers to apply for a research grant, which is then evaluated by the Advisory Committee and external experts. This results in a list of recommendations to the Board of Trustees, who then decide which projects to fund.
Research proposals will be assessed and evaluated according to the following parameters:
- Relevance to the Foundation's aims and objectives
- Scientific merit
- Qualifications and experience of the researcher and the research institution
- The type of diabetes research
Unsuccessful applicants will be notified of the Board's decision within a reasonable time.
