Norlins stiftelse

Norlins Stiftelse is a Swedish foundation for medical research that supports research into diseases of the nervous system. Its central activity is the annual award of research grants to researchers at universities and research institutions. Funding supports a broad range of medical investigations, including work on Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, neurodegeneration, brain injury, infections affecting the nervous system, and links between immune activity and disease.

Researchers can apply online through a shared application portal administered jointly with Hedbergs Stiftelse för medicinsk forskning. Submissions are sent to both foundations, and applicants receive further instructions through the portal. The foundation publishes the names of grant recipients and information about their funded projects, making its awards and research priorities visible to the public. Recent grants have supported projects at institutions including Karolinska Institutet, the universities of Gothenburg, Lund, Uppsala and Linköping, and other Swedish universities. Norlins Stiftelse announces recipients annually, with the next application period scheduled to begin in autumn 2027.
