The board of directors of Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (RJ) awards research grants, which are posted as calls once per year. However, grants directed at research initiatives may be applied for continually and are decided upon by the board’s Executive Committee.

The board is comprised of individuals with expert knowledge of economics and politics, many of whom are professors and members of the Swedish parliament. This implies that the foundation represents a unique and comprehensive network within the research community, with connections between different research areas and between research and other central public interests.
