RJ Programmes 2025 - Riksbankens Jubileumsfond
This call supports joint, well-integrated research tasks in the social sciences and humanities that a larger group of researchers connected to Sweden conducts over a relatively long period. Programmes require a highly developed research environment or researcher network, with advanced expertise on the part of the researchers and the research leader. Typically, these types of research groups are well-established in the international research community and make significant contributions to national and international research.

The main goal of the Deep Tech Venture Builder Programme is to transform deep tech academic research projects into ventures. The programme is looking for academic teams or researchers with projects in Deep Tech that are focusing on MedTech and Digital Health, with solutions that address pressing challenges in the healthcare sector.
The 10-month programme is structured in two phases: Phase 1 focuses on team creation, business idea development and prototyping. Phase 2 targets the minimum viable product (MVP) and market validation. To successfully complete Phase 1 and be considered for Phase 2, applicants will need to submit several deliverables that are linked to the achievement of certain milestones, one of which being company incorporation.
Upper Amount: €210,000EUR
An overall financial amount of €2.7 million is available for this first edition of the programme.

Up to 10 teams that successfully complete Phase 1 and pass through Gate 2 into Phase 2 will receive financial support from EIT Health.
Each project will receive up to €60,000 as a grant during Phase 1. After completion of the first phase, and if successfully evaluated by an external expert committee, the project shall pass to Phase 2. During Phase 2, projects that incorporate as a startup could receive additional funding from EIT Health in the form of a grant-to-option agreement of up to €150,000. In Phase 1, an additional 30% co-funding is expected. Co-founding totalling 30% of total incurred costs is requested from consortium members for Phase 2. The maximum duration of EIT Health financial support in Phase 1 is 5 months and will last until 13 July 2025, at the latest. Phase 2 lasts up to 5 months from 01 August 2025 to 31 December 2025.

Upcoming deadlines: February 05, 2025; June 05, 2025; October 05, 2025
Abstract: The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to encourage research that addresses the link between social disconnection in late-life and late-life suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Of specific interest is research that identifies mechanisms by which social disconnection confers risk for, and social integration protects against, suicidal thoughts and behaviors in late life. Mechanisms to be considered exist at multiple levels of analysis, including but not limited to neurobiological, behavioral, and environmental. This NOFO solicits R01 applications, while the companion announcement PAR-25-066 solicits R21 applications.
Co-infection and Cancer (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity ID: PAR-25-083
Upcoming deadlines: February 16, 2025; June 16, 2025; October 16, 2025
Abstract: The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (FOA) is to enhance mechanistic and epidemiologic investigations addressing the roles of co-infection and cancer to shed light on presently unestablished pathways in carcinogenesis that may inform prevention and treatment strategies for infection-related cancers. Co-infection is defined as the occurrence of infections by two or more infectious (pathogenic or non-pathogenic) agents – either concurrently or sequentially – and includes both acute and chronic infections by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and/or other microorganisms. Preference will be given to investigations of co-infections with known oncogenic agents (excluding human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]) and of co-infections that engender novel opportunities for prevention and treatment.
