Partnership for Clean Competition: Apply for Anti-Doping Research Grant

Deadline: 1 July 2017

The Partnership for Clean Competition (PCC) is currently accepting applications for its Anti-Doping Research Grant program, to contribute to a movement in addressing doping’s root causes and ultimately decreasing the use of performance-enhancing drugs by all participants in all sports at all levels of play.

Research Priorities

The PCC research priorities are as follows:

• Developing methods of cost-effective testing to detect and deter the use of banned and illegal substances.
• Developing testing protocols to detect designer substances used for doping purposes.
• Improving existing analytical methods to detect particular drugs, ex. GH, IGF-1, EPO, hCG.
• Developing analytical methods to detect performance enhancing drugs not currently detectable.
• Longitudinal urinary excretion patterns, metabolism and dose-concentration.
• Critical reviews to support interpretation of laboratory data.
• Alternative specimens, (ex. oral fluid, dried blood/plasma spots) for testing.

Funding Information

There is no maximum amount for PCC funding, though the average funding amount is $225,000.

Eligibility Criteria

PCC invites researchers from around the world to apply.
