Upcoming deadlines for funding calls at SciLifeLab
NEWS
SciLifeLab now welcomes applications for National Projects (Swedish Genomes Program 2017 and Swedish Biodiversity Program 2017) and for Bioinformatics Long-term support.
Swedish Genomes Program and Swedish Biodiversity Program 2107
SciLifeLab welcomes applications for Swedish research projects based on next generation DNA sequencing. In total, this third call will provide 30 million SEK in support for sequence analysis of unique and well-characterized sample collections to study either the genetic basis of disease or environmental effects on biodiversity.
The Swedish Genomes Program and the Swedish Biodiversity Program have been running since 2014 with the support from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. Since then more than 40 projects have gained support through the initiative. This third call will continue to award high quality Swedish research projects access to cutting-edge sequencing technologies at a greatly reduced cost.
For questions and more information about this initiative please contact:Sverker Lundin, Coordinator National Projects sverker.lundin@scilifelab.uu.se
For general information about the national projects and how to apply please contact: nationalprojects@scilifelab.uu.se
Application deadline: June 15 2017
Bioinformatics Long-term support (a.k.a. WABI)
SciLifeLab offers Bioinformatics Long-term support (a.k.a. WABI) in next generation sequencing and related omics. A senior bioinformatician will work on the project for up to 500 hours. The support is fully subsidized and free of charge, but extensive hands-on involvement is required by the applying research groups. To apply for support, you need to submit a small application about your project.
