Partnership for Clean Competition (PCC): Supporting excellence & innovation in anti-doping science (Pre-applications)

Supports work that focuses on improving existing analytical methods for detecting particular drugs, developing new analytical methods to test for substances not currently detectable, and discovering cost-effective approaches for testing widely abused substances across all levels of sport. Research priorities:

- 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: no maximum (average is roughly $200K).
