Ekhagastiftelsen Research Grants 2027 – The Ekhagastiftelsen Foundation is inviting applications for its 2027 funding cycle, supporting innovative research that promotes healthier food, nutrition, natural medicine, and preventive health practices. With a strong commitment to public health, the foundation prioritizes projects that focus on preventive care rather than reactive treatment, aiming to reduce disease risks before they arise.
Funding is available for applied and scientific research in areas such as:
- Organic agriculture & food quality – toxin‑free production, storage, and nutrition studies.
- Diet & lifestyle research – exploring the role of nutrition in disease prevention and resilience.
- Complementary medicine – natural healing methods, integrative approaches, and biological treatments.
Applications are welcome from universities, research institutes, foundations, associations, companies, and individuals worldwide. Projects outside Europe, Canada, or the USA are encouraged to collaborate with Swedish institutions, though this is not mandatory for Ekhagastiftelsen Research Grants 2027.
Ekhagastiftelsen supports strategic, innovative, and participatory projects that deliver measurable impact. Limited funding is also available for training, documentation, and conferences.
Eligible Applications
- Primarily scientific and applied research projects.
- Basic research (e.g., molecular biology, genetics) supported if directly relevant to preventive health.
- Limited funding for training, documentation, book projects, conferences, and collaborative workshops.
- Planning grants available for seminars/workshops to strengthen future applications.
- Scholarships possible, but only for research‑related projects (not basic university education)
- Strategic Priorities
- Innovative, pilot‑scale projects with high impact potential.
- Newsworthy research that advances knowledge beyond existing findings.
- Participatory research involving collaboration between scientists and practitioners (e.g., farmers).
