Característica
Objectiu de la convocatòria
Scientific Research Grans on development or optimization of analytical tools for the detection of doping substances or methods, growth of the Athlete Biological Passport; as well as the pharmacology of prohibited substances and of drug combinations.
Característiques principals
Higher priority will be granted to proposals addressing:
  • Detection/improvement of detection of peptide and protein hormones and other growth factors, preferably by, but not limited to, chromatography-mass spectrometric methods;
  • Improved window (retrospectivity) of detection for prohibited substances/methods (e.g. detection of new long-term metabolites including administration studies, improved methodologies of detection, multianalytes);
  • Thresholds or limits to distinguish permitted (e.g. out-of-competition or route) from prohibited use (e.g. beta-2-agonists, stimulants, glucocorticoids), natural sources vs intended use or presence in food residues;
  • Detection of autologous blood transfusion (including by proteomics or validation of biomarkers or molecular signatures);
  • The Athlete Biological Passport (e.g. new biomarkers of doping or confounding factors relevant to the hematological, steroidal or endocrine modules); and
  • Selected Certified Reference Material synthesis (please consult WADA for materials needed).
