Aim: The Partnership for Clean Competition is a nonprofit organization working to protect the integrity of sport and public health by engaging and supporting the world’s top scientists and innovators in high-quality anti-doping research and development. With an emphasis on original work that focuses on 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:
Funding: No funding ceiling; most grants ~$200K
Duration: No duration specified; most projects 1-3 year
Eligibility: Investigators worldwide contributing to the detection or deterrence of performance-enhancing drugs are eligible for PCC Grants.
How 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. Selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application, with a more detailed research plan and budget. Pre-Applications are due March 1st, July 1st, and November 1st of each year. Applicants invited to submit full applications must do so by April 1st, August 1st, or December 1st, depending on the cycle (30 days after the pre-application due date). Most applications take a total of four months from the submission of the pre-application to the final Board approval.
Deadline: 01 March 2022
