The Thelma Zoéga Fund for Medical Research

Purpose of the foundation

The purpose of the foundation is to promote medical research and development. Grants will primarily be awarded to research and development in such areas, including the procurement of medical equipment, conducted by physicians at the hospital in Helsingborg (Helsingborgs lasarett).

Grants can to a certain extent also be awarded to researchers holding a PhD at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University.

Grants may be awarded for pure study visits, but not for visits to conventions.

Who can apply?

Applicants from Helsingborgs lasarett: Physicians who conduct medical research, or PhD students in other professions who are supervised by physicians at Helsingborgs lasarett, can apply. The foundation prioritises applications from doctoral students over applications from supervisors.

Applicants from Lund University: Researchers with a PhD at the Faculty of Medicine can apply. The foundation prioritises applications from researchers who obtained their PhD within 5 years of the time of application, and who are about to set up their own independent research team. Grants to Lund University are awarded no more than twice per project.
