DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The Partnership for Clean Competition is a nonprofit or
 ganization working to protect the integrity of sport and public health by 
 engaging and supporting the world’s top scientists and innovators in hig
 h-quality anti-doping research and development. With an emphasis on origin
 al work that focuses on improving existing analytical methods for detectin
 g particular drugs\, developing new analytical methods to test for substan
 ces not currently detectable\, and discovering cost-effective approaches f
 or testing widely abused substances across all levels of sport\, the follo
 wing areas of investigation reflect the PCC’s current research prioritie
 s:\n \n\n	Developing methods of cost-effective testing to detect and dete
 r the use of banned and illegal substances.\n	Developing testing protocols
  to detect designer substances used for doping purposes.\n	Improving exist
 ing analytical methods to detect particular drugs\, ex. GH\, IGF-1\, EPO\,
  hCG.\n	Developing analytical methods to detect performance enhancing drug
 s not currently detectable.\n	Longitudinal urinary excretion patterns\, me
 tabolism and dose-concentration.\n	Critical reviews to support interpretat
 ion of laboratory data.\n	Alternative specimens\, (ex. oral fluid\, dried 
 blood/plasma spots) for testing.\n\n\nFunding:       No funding ceil
 ing\; most grants ~$200K\n\nDuration:      No duration specified\; mo
 st projects 1-3 year\n\nEligibility: Investigators worldwide contributing 
 to the detection or deterrence of performance-enhancing drugs are eligible
  for PCC Grants.\n\nHow to Apply: The two-step application process begins 
 with the submission of a pre-application\, which should highlight the aims
 \, hypotheses\, and methodology of the research to be carried out. Selecte
 d applicants will be invited to submit a full application\, with a more de
 tailed research plan and budget. Pre-Applications are due March 1st\, July
  1st\, and November 1st of each year. Applicants invited to submit full ap
 plications must do so by April 1st\, August 1st\, or December 1st\, depend
 ing on the cycle (30 days after the pre-application due date). Most applic
 ations take a total of four months from the submission of the pre-applicat
 ion to the final Board approval.\n\nDeadline:      01 March 2022\n 
                        01 July 2022\n       
                  01 November 2022\n\nFurther information\n
