About us

Our mission

The Swedish Research Council for Sport Science is a government research funder and knowledge centre that gathers and disseminates knowledge on the individual, places and society. We provide a foundation for informed decision-making in the areas of sport, outdoor recreation and physical activity. Established in 1988, our mission today is to fund research, monitor and evaluate government support to the sports movement, conduct in-depth analyses, and promote the development of better sport and physical activity facilities across Sweden.
Grant funding

Sport science funding

A central part of our mission is to fund research with relevance to sport. We announce research grants through open calls, to promote the generation of new knowledge about sport and physical activity. Our definition of sport is broad, and we fund research across all scientific disciplines at Swedish higher education institutions.
