Objectiu de la convocatòria
Development or optimization of analytical tools for the detection of doping substances or methods, growth of the Athlete Biological Passport, the pharmacology of prohibited substances and of drug combinations, evaluation of doping potential and anti-doping testing programs. With this objective, WADA gives high priority to projects with direct and imminent applicability (including human studies if applicable) in the fight against doping in sport.

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)
Pharmacokinetic studies to establish thresholds or minimum reporting levels of prohibited substances or their
metabolites (e.g., beta-2 agonists, stimulants) 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).
