Abuse-Free Sport publishes four Research Grant Program reports
MONTREAL, QC – Abuse-Free Sport is pleased to announce the publication of four reports from its Research Grant Program’s 2022-23 cycle funding recipients.

The five remaining projects from 2022-23 are multi-year projects and their reports will be available in 2025 and 2026. The first four completed reports are as follows:
