SciLifeLab invites applications for Technology Development Projects to deliver new, cutting-edge methods, tools, or data solutions not yet available as nationwide services in Sweden. Projects should be broadly useful, internationally competitive, and have potential to become production-level services. Results must be Open Source/FAIR.

Eligibility: Main applicant: A senior infrastructure staff scientist at a SciLifeLab platform

Co-applicant(s): SciLifeLab Group Leader (GL) principal investigators, other PIs at Swedish universities, and/or infrastructure staff scientists at other units/platforms including non-SciLifeLab facilities. Companies, healthcare providers and international PIs can also be co-applicants, however, no SciLifeLab funding can be distributed to these categories (see Funding below). Co-applicant(s) is not mandatory but recommended.

Funding: Up to 1.5 MSEK/year (2026–2027) for salaries, consumables, and optional NBIS (max 1 FTE/year) or Data Centre support. Contact NBIS/DC by Oct 23 if requesting their resources.
