JUHO VAINIO FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES APPLICATIONS FOR GRANTS FOR 2024
The foundation awards grants for research and health-promoting projects that promote Finnish public health and healthy lifestyles. The targets of the support are, in particular, healthy exercise, health-promoting nutrition, combating health hazards caused by smoking and the use of alcohol and other substances, and promoting mental health and environmental health. Grants can also be targeted at researching health hazards caused by housing and buildings.
As a rule, the foundation grants grants for personal work, such as dissertation work and post-doc research, as well as project grants awarded to groups. Grants for personal work are typically awarded for working for six (6) months or one year. A previously received grant can be extended on a new application.
The foundation can also grant grants to health-promoting projects, provided that the project involves a scientific research section and/or an assessment of the project's effectiveness and benefits.
Grants can be allocated to research and projects on all topics that are in line with the foundation's purpose. The focus area for 2024 is research and projects that explore ways to change health behaviour at the individual or population level.
The foundation is preparing to award grants to Ukrainian researchers as well.
For the year 2023, the foundation will award one or more large grants. The purpose of the large grant is to support significant and wide-ranging research lasting one or more years or another health promotion project. The large grant applicant can also apply for the foundation's one-year project grant in the same application round, which can be awarded in the event that the large grant is not awarded.
The application period for all foundation grants awarded for the year 2024 is September 2023, i.e. from 1 September to 30 September 2023. The application period ends on Saturday, 30 September 2023, at midnight.
The application must be submitted to the grant system available on the foundation's website. The application or part of it can also be made in English. The foundation does not accept applications in any other format or applications submitted after the application deadline.
More detailed application instructions and additional information about the grants can be found on the foundation's website www.juhovainionsaatio.fi.
