5	Department of Communications, Info Technology, & the Arts -
Sport and Anti-Doping Research Program Funding
Applications for funding are now being sought for research projects to
improve the analytical capability of detecting banned substances and
doping agents in sport. The practical feasibility of a valid detection
test is a high priority. The present round of applications are
particularly seeking to seed novel approaches to doping control in areas
where new or improved doping control tests could be developed. Funding
proposals should normally not exceed $200,000 per year. However, larger
proposals may be considered subject to strong justification and
alignment with doping control research priorities.
