Travel Grant Opportunity: Ph.D. Anti-Doping Course in Denmark

From November 11-13, 2019, the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sport Sciences (NEXSKU) will offer the 5th biannual “Doping and Human Exercise Performance” Symposium featuring experts on a variety of topics related to doping in sports from omics strategies to hematology.

The symposium will be followed by a two-day course for Ph.D. students supported by the Ph.D. School of Science at the University of Copenhagen (and the PCC!).

The PCC is offering two Ph.D. students a $1,250 USD travel grant to take advantage of this valuable opportunity to learn and network.

Central themes of the event include limits for human performance, existing physiological and analytical approaches to detect doping, and new strategies in anti-doping efforts, among other emerging topics taught by and discussed with world-renowned experts.

If you’d like to apply for a PCC Travel Grant send a CV and letter of intent to Jenna Celmer (jcelmer@cleancompetition.org) by September 23, 2019.

The letter should highlight your interest and history with anti-doping, and explain why you’d like to attend the event. How will it impact your future career or research? Eligible applicants must hold, or be attaining a Ph.D. in a scientific field, and preference will be given to junior investigators. Successful applicants will be notified before October 1st.

We encourage all anti-doping investigators to register for this unique occasion to design the anti-doping studies of tomorrow based on knowledge of existing and new state-of-the-art methods.
