It’s been a busy summer for the Partnership for Clean Competition when it comes to promoting anti-doping research. We hosted a webinar series on Anti-Doping and the Olympic/Paralympic Movement, and we also held our first virtual poster session, which left us with more than 50 anti-doping research posters to distribute.
With all that research to share, we’ve been on hiatus with our regular Research in Review articles. We’re back with a collection of research from August 2021.
if you are interested in support for your own anti-doping research, the Partnership for Clean Competition’s next pre-application deadline for grant and fellowship funding is November 1st. Pre-applications are short and straightforward, intended to ensure full applications are on-topic for the PCC. Once you have an approved pre-application, you will be invited to submit a full application by December 1st. There is no maximum or minimum amount for grant funding and timelines are flexible depending on the project. Submit your pre-application today.
NOTE: The Partnership for Clean Competition aims to promote a holistic understanding of anti-doping. To move toward that goal, we’ve put together a selection of published articles from August 2021 that are relevant to clean sport. These articles may or may not stem from PCC-funded research. Posting them here should not be read as an endorsement of findings, but rather, an attempt to assemble the latest research in one place to make it easy to read and review.
