JUHO VAINIO FOUNDATION INVITES GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR 2025
The foundation awards grants for research and health-promoting projects that promote Finnish public health and healthy lifestyles. The support focuses especially on healthy exercise, health-promoting nutrition, combating the health hazards caused by smoking and the use of alcohol and other substances, promoting mental health, and promoting 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 for 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 a scientific evaluation 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 2025 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 2025, the foundation will award one large grant of 200,000 euros. 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 2025 is September 2024, i.e., September 1-30, 2024. The application period ends on Monday, September 30, 2024, 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.
Detailed instructions and further information for applicants are available on the foundation's website at www.juhovainionsaatio.fi.
