What is Project X?
Project X is a USAT High Performance program that makes strategic investments in potential Olympic & Paralympic athletes. The Project X panel regularly reviews all USAT Elites, with a special focus on those who are on the cusp of qualifying for National Team Funding. All Project X support is 100% discretionary, and is not meant for athletes who are currently on any USAT supported programs.
If you are an athlete that falls within the description of this program, and would like to apply for support, please fill out the form below and provide as much information as possible regarding your funding request. Be sure to include an in-depth breakdown of the funds/support you are requesting, and all details of what objectives you aim to achieve by receiving this funding.
*Please note: Athletes are allowed to have multiple requests approved throughout the season as long as the athlete continues to hit all their objectives listed in the request form. BUT if a request is approved by the Project X panel, and the athlete fails to meet all their objectives, they will only be allowed one more approved request for the season. If an athlete fails to hit all their objectives in their second approved request, the athlete will no longer be able to request funding for the season.
