World Athletics Research Grant

This grant is funded by World Athletics, one of the most influential sport governing bodies, having great involvement in the Olympics and the creation of its own global events, such as the century-old World Athletics Championship. This grant, awarded to doctoral students, funds human research in the area of physical activity, training and human performance relative to athletic events (e.g., track and field, road running, trail running, race walking). Besides increasing knowledge, the proposal should have a practical impact on all those who regularly participate in athletics, both for competition purposes and simply to enhance their health. The focus of the 2025 grant is promoting health and wellbeing in female track and field athletes. Please visit the award's website for more information about the grant and how to write a successful grant proposal.
