World Rowing is inviting expressions of interest from qualified researchers to undertake an evidence-based study focused on either or both of two key classification topics:
- Delineation between PR2 and PR3 sport classes, and
- Establishing minimal impairment thresholds across joints assessed in classification.
This research will support the development of clearer, sport-specific, and measurable criteria within the Para Rowing classification system. The project is expected to start in the beginning of 2026 and run through 2026 to 2028, with testing to occur at the 2026 and 2027 World Rowing events.
Deadline for proposals: September 12, 2025
