Division of Research Support

Focus:

The Division of Research Support (FoS), provides support for securing external research funding and to externally funded research projects. We give advice to researchers on financial and administrative aspects of call for proposals and we offer project manangement support for execusion and follow-up on research projects. 

We are organizationally located within the School of Innovation, Design and Engineering but work University wide and support researchers all six research areas as well as Directors of research and the University management.

National Science Foundation  (NSF) gives support for all fields of fundamental science and engineering, except for medical sciences. The Foundation also supports cooperative research between universities and industry, US participation in international scientific and engineering efforts, and educational activities at every academic level. http://www.nsf.gov/

Swedish Research Funding:

Knowledge Foundation (KKS) is the research financier for universities with the task of strengthening Sweden's competitiveness and ability to create value. The Foundation supports research that is conducted at Sweden's new universities, provided that industry provides a matching amount and actively participates in order to achieve development there as well.http://www.kks.se/SitePages/Startsida.aspx

Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SFF) was founded in 1994 with capital from the former wage-earner funds, with the objective to support research in natural science, engineering and medicine that strengthens Sweden’s competitiveness.
