 July 6, 2023 - The Ontario-Focused Research Program for Preventing and Reducing Gambling Harms

The deadline for expressions of interest is July 21, 2023 (23:59 EST) 
Applications are due August 11, 2023 (23:59 EST) 

This Research Program will fund and mobilize research projects that target gambling harm prevention/reduction priorities, address gaps in the existing evidence base, and generate unique insights for supporting the prevention and minimization of gambling harms.

$100,000 is available for up to two projects, and researchers at non-profit organizations, academic institutions, and other private/public entities are eligible for funding.

  • Tools/interventions aimed at encouraging those who gamble to do so at lower levels of risk.
  • Gambling harms by geography / region.
