Greo is now accepting applications for secondary analyses of high-quality datasets with potential to advance understanding of the relationship between gambling involvement and gambling related harm in Great Britain.

Preference will be given to research proposals addressing the following priority areas:

• Conducting the risk curve analyses performed during development of the Lower Risk Gambling Guidelines in an appropriate dataset in order to assess their replicability in a population from Great Britain;
• Gambling and co-occurring health conditions, including substance use and mental and/or physical health;
• Populations experiencing social inequity (e.g., youth, older adults, women, ethnic minorities, low income);
• Reducing harm to individuals, families, and/or communities across the spectrum of gambling risk levels;
• Gaps in treatment service provision; or
• Relationships between gambling forms, co-occurring health conditions, and problem gambling risk levels. 

There will be two awards valued at up to £17,500 each.

Eligibility

• This solicitation is open to all researchers with knowledge of gambling in Great Britain.
• Researchers working in Great Britain, or partnering with researchers in Great Britain are preferred.

1 April 2021 - Open Access Funding

Application deadline: None, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until all awards have been granted.

Timely access to quality evidence is a key component of knowledge translation. We believe that providing free and open access to gambling research published in scholarly journal articles will remove barriers to access and allow a larger audience to benefit from existing evidence. To encourage the development of new evidence, we offer support to those planning on publishing open access research.

Funding for this initiative is derived from regulatory settlements for socially responsible purposes that are approved by the United Kingdom (UK) Gambling Commission. Therefore, to access these funds, authors or research groups must be affiliated with a UK institution. Individuals may be awarded this funding only once per calendar year (based on the manuscript acceptance date). Priority for this funding will be given to:

• Meta-analyses, systematic reviews of literature, and scoping reviews
• Secondary data analyses using datasets listed in the Greo's Evidence Centre
• Manuscripts that directly address gambling harm reduction
• Manuscripts that include policy implications for harm prevention, reduction, and/or mitigation
• Researchers who are based in the UK
