SLU has several guidelines for external funding applications and for co-funding external research projects. These guidelines are in place to prevent financial and legal problems in externally funded projects.

Guidelines for external funding
These guidelines apply to proposals for grants and tenders as well as the contracts and agreements that result from proposals and tenders. The head of department or unit is responsible for creating and maintaining procedures for applying the guidelines at their department or unit.

Central and three-part co-funding
Many of SLU's grant contracts with external funders do not cover all costs. Normally, the department is responsible for co-funding contracts. Departments may be prevented from concluding a contract if there is a significant need for co-funding is great. In order to better enable SLU's departments to participate in such contracts, university-wide guidelines for co-funding have been established.
