The Social Science Research (SSR) Collaboration Platform, consisting of six different organisations, identified various research themes for which funding has been made available.
Research Themes
Although each organization of the Collaboration Platform identifies its own specific research priorities, which are outlined in this Communiqué, the overarching research themes that capture our common interests are:
Sport integrity
Athlete welfare/wellbeing
Values education
Sport governance and capacity
Effectiveness of education
Equality and inclusion in sport
Athlete environment/influences on behaviour
Impact of technology on sport integrity
