Description:

Below you will find current procedures for external international, national and mixed research funding at the application stage (pre-award) and upon grant approval (post- award). This presentation refers to grant research, in case of commissioned research
(a.k.a. contract research) this will be specifically stated. The aim is to clarify the process to heads of department/centre directors (directly subordinate to the dean), heads of administration and individual researchers. For further information about the procedures regarding specific research funders, please go to the web pages of REIS, or get in touch with us via the contacts below.

Important to keep in mind:

• All applications must be approved by the Head of department/Centre director.
• Reach out to REIS as early as possible, good foresight is essential. REIS should be contacted at least two weeks in advance if you need signatures on application documents and prior to the start of negotiations of new agreements.
• REIS will assist during the review and drafting of agreements. REIS will ensure that the agreements are, when necessary, legally reviewed by the legal counsels at the Office of the President (this is always done if the amount exceeds 6 million SEK for a research grant and, in case of a commissioned research project, if it exceeds half a million SEK), and that the agreements are signed by the Head of
  REIS if there is a delegation from the President. In the President’s decision-making meetings (“rektorsföredragning” (RF)), REIS reports the agreements which are signed by the President. Reach out to the REIS contracts team via

• Reach out to the REIS research ethics support via etik@fs.su.se if you have questions about ethical review, ethical guidelines, good research practice or other aspects of ethics in research.
• (Applications and agreements for external funding of education, e.g. within Erasmus+, are administered by the Office for Student Services. Reach out to projektstodutbildning@su.se.
