Description:

In addition to WADA?s regular Social Science Research Grant Program and with the goal of further ensuring effective doping prevention strategies, WADA?s Education Committee identifies specific areas requiring additional evidence in the way of social science research.

One task of WADA?s Education Committee is to identify areas of social science research in the field of anti-doping in need of particular attention and encourage research to obtain information which will inform more efficient doping prevention strategies. WADA encourages collaborative research projects.

Application Details:

WADA?s mission is to promote, co-ordinate and monitor, on an international basis, the fight against doping in sport in all its forms. As part of its strategic objectives, WADA has identified both education and research as priorities. It is essential that anti-doping education programs and initiatives be based on scientific knowledge and evidence. Therefore a Social Sciences Research Grant Program has been created to encourage research in the social sciences and to obtain information, which will enable more efficient doping-prevention strategies.
