Anti-Doping Research Program

Australian Government support for anti-doping research

The Australian Government provides funding for scientific and social science anti-doping research through the Anti-Doping Research Program (ADRP). ADRP is funded under the Australian Government's Sport Anti-Doping Program, which also supports Australia's international anti-doping commitments to the World Anti-Doping Agency and UNESCO.

Anti-Doping Research Program

ADRP provides funding to academic and scientific organisations for new anti-doping research to improve the analytical capability for detecting the use of banned substances and doping agents in sport; and to better understand doping behaviours and inform practical doping deterrence strategies.

Funding rounds are generally held annually.
