bidragsavtalet

Bidragsavtalet is a contract between a grantor and a recipient, where the grantor provides funds to support a project or activity aligned with the grantor's objectives. The grant is usually conditional on the recipient complying with defined requirements and reporting obligations.

Typically the grantor could be a public authority, a foundation, or a company; the recipient is often a non-profit, an educational or research institution, or a business. The agreement defines the project, the target outcomes, the period, and the total amount.

Common terms include eligible costs, disbursement schedule, and budget approvals; the contract may specify deliverables, milestones, and deadlines; ownership of results and rights to use data or intellectual property; and rules on publicity and conflict of interest.

Monitoring and reporting requirements are central: the recipient must provide financial statements, progress reports, and may be subject to audits; the grantor retains the right to inspect records and to demand repayment of funds if conditions are breached.

The agreement may include remedies such as clawback, termination, or suspension of funding; it may address how changes to the project are approved and how disputes are resolved.

In practice bidragsavtalet is used for research funding, cultural programs, social initiatives, and other projects where public or philanthropic money is used to achieve specified objectives.

In Sweden, bidragsavtalet is commonly used by public authorities, foundations, and universities to fund research, culture, and social projects.
