MMW supports research in the social sciences by funding research projects of high scientific potential, as well as providing individual support to outstanding scientists within the foundation's programs. MMW also supports the WASP-HS (The Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program - Humanities and Society) program, which aims to realize excellent research and develop competence on the consequences and challenges of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems for the individual person and society.

i) Research projects of high scientific potential

MMW publishes an annual call for research projects of high scientific potential, usually with deadline on April 1. Within this call, researchers can apply for funding for projects in law, economics and social sciences, where interdisciplinary projects preferably focusing on IT and digital media are prioritized. Project support can also be granted to research projects of relevance for the WASP-HS program. Normally, MMW funds projects with a budget of SEK 3-10 million and a duration of three to five years. Applications submitted to MMW should be prioritized by the university and must thus enclose a support letter signed by the Vice Chancellor upon submission.

ii) Wallenberg Clinical Fellows

Wallenberg Clinical Fellows is a career program for clinically active physicians up to 10 years after obtaining their PhD. The program aims to stimulate Swedish doctors' clinical research and create an opportunity for the next generation of clinical research leaders to focus on research over a period of three years. The grant is announced once a year, usually with deadline on June 1.
