Funding of Sport Science Research

A core part of our mission is to fund and support research at Swedish universities and higher education institutions. Through open calls, researchers are given the opportunity to apply for funding for projects that contribute new knowledge on sport and physical activity, based on a broad definition that includes elite sport, health and societal conditions.
