Changes in an ongoing project

Extension of the grant availability period

Applications for an extension of the grant availability period should be addressed to the Foundation’s secretariat. A grant recipient is entitled to an extended grant availability period if the project manager has been prevented by illness, parental leave, service in the Armed Forces or trade-union or political office from completing his or her research. Grant availability period can also be extended in the event of particular circumstances outside the applicant’s control that have affected the possibility to complete the project within the appointed time.

The application for an extended grant availability period must be submitted to the Foundation by e-mail by the project manager, with the grant administrator’s support. An application for extension must specify the particular reasons why as well as a plan for how and when completion of the research project is intended to take place. Always use the form for application for change available at the bottom of the page.

Changes in the project budget

Reallocation of funds between budget lines is allowed up to:

• For projects: SEK 300,000
• For postdoc projects: SEK 250,000
• For grand projects: SEK 1,250,000

The amounts refer to the whole project period.

For larger changes in the project’s budget (reallocation above the specified amounts), an application for reallocation of funds must be submitted to the Foundation’s secretariat. Always use the form for application for change available at the bottom of the page.

Changes in the budget should always be described in the reporting back to the Foundation.

• Changes of scientific character
