World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA): Research Programme

Aim: 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, and anti-doping testing programs.

For 2023, proposals will be classified as follows:

1. Detection of doping substances/methods: methodologies in analytical chemistry
2. Detection of doping substances/methods: affinity-binding and biochemical methodologies.
3. Pharmacological studies of doping substances/methods
4. The Athlete Biological Passport (ABP)
5. Detection of doping substances/methods: molecular biology, “omics” and miscellaneous methodologies
6. Scientific innovations to improve anti-doping programs

Funding: not mentioned. No overhead.
