6. Conclusions
In this report and in this short video, we present you the results of a project we conducted to get an overview of social and scientific research on anti-doping in the last 20 years, focusing mainly on research projects funded by two of the major funding organizations: the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and Partnership Competition Partnership (PCC), amounting each to over $83 million and $29 million in the last 20 years.
The report highlights how research evolved in terms of topics researched, the progressive increase of fundings and finally shed some light on trends: which countries and types of organizations concentrate most of the fundings, what are the new topics researchers focus on. The project also puts in perspective the trends observed with the funding organizations’ strategies, the current involvement of NADOs in Scientific and Social Sciences Research.
