Applications for the Assar Gabrielsson's Award can be submitted by persons who have defended their thesis no later than 3 years prior to the application deadline.

As of 2016, two prizes are awarded: one in the basic scientific medicine and one in clinical research. Only one application can be submitted. Basic cancer research includes basic, experimental and preclinical cancer research. In clinical cancer research, some of the research should be close to patients, including, for example, clinical or intervention studies.

NOTE 1! The two categories (Clinical/Basic Sciences), previously pkt 1 of the form, were removed: the reviewers thought that it may be difficult for the applicant to decide in which category to apply. The categories remain, but the reviewers choose instead where each application shall be placed.
