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

Aim: 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, the following areas of investigation reflect the PCC’s current 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: average - $225,000
