Stiftelsen Assar Gabrielssons fond för klinisk forskning, speciellt i cancersjukdomar focuses almost entirely on cancer research in Sweden, with a strong preference for clinically relevant, patient-oriented, and translational projects. It supports both established researchers and doctoral-level talent through annual project grants, larger strategic awards, travel support, and special-purpose funding for equipment and scientific events. The foundation is especially distinctive for combining clinical and preclinical cancer research support with clear timelines and a strong emphasis on active dissemination and ethical approval.
Annual competitive grants plus a few continuous-intake programs; supports one travel grant per applicant per year, one project grant application per person, and larger two-stage awards for a small number of major projects. Grants range from smaller travel and special-investment support to substantial research awards, with decisions tied to fixed annual deadlines and some applications accepted year-round.

Check the specific deadline by program: travel grants are due at least two months before the trip, the annual research grant is due October 1, the prize deadline is February 1, and larger grants use a two-step process with March 1 and May 1 deadlines. Applications should be submitted as instructed in the program call, include ethical approval where required, and for event/equipment support apply 4–6 weeks in advance. This funder appears Sweden-focused and cancer-specific, so proposals should clearly demonstrate direct clinical relevance or translational value.
