Science and Research
During the period from (2001-2009), USADA budgeted $2 million per year to support research related to the deterrence of the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport. The broad range of anti-doping research activities previously undertaken by USADA has been assumed by the Partnership for Clean Competition (below). USADA will still consider funding research projects that have been presented to the PCC (or WADA) first based on the guidelines from the USADA Research Priorities Policy. In this section, you can find detailed information about the past and current USADA-funded research and its impact on anti-doping science.
USADA, together with the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), the National Football League (NFL), and Major League Baseball (MLB) has formed the Partnership for Clean Competition, Inc (PCC). The PCC is an anti-doping research funding collaborative created to make targeted grants in support of non-partisan and independent scientific research to be conducted at universities and other world-class research institutions. Information on the application process can be found at www.cleancompetition.org.
Since 2002, USADA has hosted the Annual USADA Symposium on Anti-Doping Science which has included anti-doping program administrators, laboratory directors, pharmaceutical industry scientists, and academic scientists with expertise in a specific area of interest to the anti-doping community from around the globe. Within this section, you can find summaries of all symposia.
