We wanted to commemorate the UN’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science by sharing the projects of female grant recipients contributing their acumen to the Clean Sport Movement. The PCC is proud to support scientists representing diverse backgrounds, scientific fields, geographic regions, and gender.
While the below list represents principal investigators funded by the PCC, we would also like to acknowledge the many female research partners, assistants, fellows, and professors who play a significant role in the scientific research process and advancement of anti-doping knowledge.
For questions about PCC funded research projects, please email Jenna Celmer at jcelmer@cleancompetition.org
