Objectiu de la convocatòria
Grants for Scientific Research to develop, harmonize and coordinate anti-doping rules and policies. Our key activities include scientific and social science research; education; intelligence and investigations; anti-doping capacity development; and monitoring of compliance with the World Anti-Doping Code.
Característiques principals
Higher priority will be granted to proposals addressing:
  • Detection/improvement of detection/quantification of peptide and protein hormones and growth factors, preferably by, but not limited to, chromatography-mass spectrometric methods
  • Improved window (retrospectivity) of detection of prohibited substances/methods (e.g., detection of new longterm metabolites including administration studies, improved methodologies of detection, analyte multiplexing)
  • Thresholds or minimum reporting levels of prohibited substances or their metabolites (e.g., beta-2 agonists, stimulants, glucocorticoids) to distinguish permitted (e.g., out-of-competition or route) from prohibited use, natural sources vs. intended use or presence in food residues
  • Detection of autologous blood transfusion, including validation of candidate biomarkers or molecular signatures
  • The Athlete Biological Passport (e.g., new biomarkers of doping or confounding factors relevant to the hematological, steroidal or endocrine [growth hormone] modules); and
  • Selected Certified Reference Material synthesis (please consult WADA for materials needed).

    Documentació
    1. A project description (max. 5 pages) including objectives, methodology, experimental design, timelines, preliminary results and relevant bibliographic references;
    2. Information about the researchers (curriculum vitae), their home institution, and resources;
    3. A detailed budget;
    4. **For research involving human subjects and/or human samples (including existing material): a copy of local ethics committee approval, participant information letter and consent form.
