- National research councils and agencies such as the Swedish Research Council, Vinnova, Formas, and Forte.
- Private and thematic funders such as Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, the Wallenberg foundations, and medical research foundations.
- Regional, clinical, and Nordic calls where researchers in Sweden are often eligible.
- Selected European programmes, including relevant Horizon Europe, ERC, and MSCA calls.
