RJ Programmes
Final reporting of RJ Programmes is to occur no later than the date specified in the contract.
The report is completed by the research leader via RJ's application system and must be signed by both the research leader and the grant administrator. Please note that the research leader must have completed the final report for previous projects in order to apply for new projects.
The financial final report is done in a specific field in the web form, where there is also an opportunity to leave a comment on the financial final report.
The scientific summary should present the results of the project and conclude with a list of any publications along with links to publications that are published in accordance with the requirements for open access and other digital materials. The report must be in both Swedish and English. The scientific final report is published in full on RJ's website.
The scientific final report should be a cohesive text of at least 5,000 and a maximum of 10,000 characters per language (including spaces, excluding the list of publications).
The following points should be reported:
- The purpose and development of the programme.
- A brief description of the implementation.
- The program's most significant results and a discussion of the conclusions.
- Any new research questions.
- How researchers have disseminated their research and whether and how collaboration has occurred.
- A list of publications and links to personal websites. Please use headings to make it more readable (e.g., monographs, articles, textbooks, websites including Wikipedia, debates, popularizations). Highlight what is published with open access. For researchers funded by RJ from the 2010 application round onwards, it is required that they publish their peer-reviewed texts in journals and conference publications so that they are freely accessible on the internet. Therefore, indicate how compliance with the open access requirement has been ensured.

Programme Publication
Previously, RJ required its programmes to summarise their results in a programme publication in Swedish. As of now, the former requirement to produce a summarising popular science publication has been abolished entirely. Instead, programmes are offered the opportunity to produce such a publication and may then apply for a separate grant to cover printing costs and any associated launch of the publication, amounting to up to SEK 150,000. Please contact the responsible research manager if you are interested.
To be eligible for the grant, the publication must be written in Swedish and be aimed at a broader audience than researchers within the specific field. This means that key concepts and similar elements must be explained in a popular science manner.
The programme’s main results should be the primary focus, and the research leader is encouraged to describe the conclusions of the research and the broader lessons that can be drawn from it.
If the programme also chooses to organise a public event to communicate its results, the publication must be printed and ready for distribution in connection with the event. The purpose is to enable audiences beyond the researchers directly involved in the field to engage with the research findings. This may include decision-makers, practitioners, journalists, an interested general public, or researchers in other fields.
