Nervsjukdomar - Nästa stora satsning : Kartläggning av forskningsanslag i Sverige inomnaturvetenskap, medicin och life science

Sammanfattning: The aim with this project was to investigate how research grants in Sweden are distributed inthe selected fields; natural science, medicine and life science. Our client Olink producesdetection kits for biomarkers and our goal with this study was to give an indication of apossible new market area for their products. Three foundations were included in the study;VINNOVA, Vetenskapsrådet (Swedish Research Council) and Stiftelsen för strategiskforskning (Swedish foundation for strategic research). Nearly a thousand research grantswere analysed which included a total of 4,92 billion Swedish kronor. Seven selecteduniversities were contacted; Chalmers tekniska högskola, Karolinska Institutet, Kungligatekniska högskolan, Linköpings universitet, Lunds universitetet, Sverigeslantbruksuniversitet, Uppsala universitet. The aim was to get an indication if any specificuniversity invested in a research of significant interest. The analysis of the foundationscombined with the analysis of the universities internal funding distribution gave theconclusion that a possible future market area for Olink Bioscience is the field of neurologicaldisorders.
