Fixed amounts for grants positions

The Swedish Cancer Society applies fixed amounts for position grants, which means that every grant category has its own specific amount.

The grant is calculated on the current salary standard, holiday pay (1.3%) and salary fees (51.7%) plus the managing department's deductions for indirect costs (15.25%).

The grant holder's actual salary is determined by the employer.

It is a requirement that the entire grant should be used to finance the position. The grant from the Swedish Cancer Society may not be used as project funds or for another person's salary.

For Fellowship, the grant may be used for one return trip per grant period for the grantee and any accompanying family members in cases where part of the Fellowship is spent at an institution abroad.
