Documentation for API containing information on funded projects
This application programming interface (API) makes basic data available, in machine-readable format, about projects we funded in our calls starting from 2006. Data in the API is updated daily and may be used freely without fees or other restrictions.

The following table shows the forms of assistance and grants for the projects included in the API. Direct assistance payments to a predetermined recipient as stated in Formas’ appropriation directions and transfers made by Formas under other funders’ calls are not included in the API.
Form of assistance | Form of grant |

Research support | Research projects |
Innovation support | Innovation projects |
Collaboration and real-world impact | Sector mobility |
Career support | Early Career Research Project |

Variabler
The variables for the project are shown in the table below. Formas has developed the API in partnership with the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova. Variables marked with an asterisk (*) are comparable to the corresponding variables in Vinnova’s API for funded projects
External link.. Information about the administrating organisation, the project end date and the amount granted might change when a project is ongoing. The API presents current information. BeviljatDatum refers to the date when the original grant was awarded. Any date for subsequent decisions on awarding additional grants is not reported.
