The Sjöberg Prize for cancer research is awarded to a scientist or a group of scientists who have made a fundamental discovery that is expected to advance our knowledge about disease mechanisms, prevention or treatment of cancer. This Sjöberg Prize is based on a donation from the late businessman Bengt Sjöberg and awarded jointly by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Sjöberg Foundation. It amounts to 1 million US dollars of which 1/10 is a personal award, with the remainder being used for research.

The nominated scientist must presently conduct high-quality cancer research and be below 60 years of age. Nominations must be made electronically.
