Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts-
Sports Anti-Doping Research Social Science Projects
Introduction: The Anti-Doping Research Program (ADRP) provides funds for
new research that will help lead to practical doping deterrence
strategies by improving the analytical capability of detecting banned
substances and doping agents and identifying the motivations for doping.
The Anti-Doping Research Program Panel has defined the following four
social science research projects as important in contributing to the
development of such deterrence strategies and is seeking applications to
undertake one or more of these four projects:
* Project one: Psychological profile of at-risk athletes
* Project two: Evaluation of the effectiveness of current
anti-doping education programs
* Project three: Baseline study of knowledge and awareness of
anti-doping in the sporting community
* Project four: Public perceptions/view of anti-doping
Eligibility: Please refer to website link below for more information.
Amount Awarded: Please refer to website link below for more information.
Overheads: This scheme is exempt from University of Sydney overhead
charges.

National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF)- Postdoctoral Fellowships
Introduction: The purpose of the Postdoctoral Training Fellowships is to
provide outstanding researchers who have recently completed a PhD with
support to pursue their breast cancer research interest and increase
their research capability. Research priorities for 2007-2010 will be
research that addresses:
* All aspects of advanced breast cancer
* Young women and breast cancer. This includes women younger than
50 years or those considered to be pre-menopausal when diagnosed.
* Translational research, with the potential to deliver outcomes
that are clinically relevant or otherwise ready to be implemented to
prevent the disease or to improve the care of those with breast cancer.
* Multidisciplinary research, which encourages research across
disciplines and boundaries.
* Novel health service delivery.
Particular consideration will be given to research programs that are
innovative, non-duplicative of other efforts and have the potential for
clinical or public health application and are able to build a national
reputation for Australian research.
Eligibility: MD or PhD in a health-related field of research or have
submitted a thesis for such by December of the year of application. The
Fellowship can commence on 1st January; however, the doctoral thesis
