On behalf of the AFSG, Greo is accepting applications for:
- Secondary Data Analysis Grants
- Postgraduate Research Support Grants
- Student Travel/Conference Grants
- Open Access Funding
- Exploratory Research Grants (Application Period Closed)
22 March 2024 – Secondary Data Analysis Grants
Secondary Data Analysis grants are available to conduct analyses on high-quality datasets that assess the relationship between gambling involvement and gambling-related harm. Proposed analyses should be generalisable to the UK.
For more information, see the application guidelines.
22 March 2024 – Postgraduate Research Support Grants
Postgraduate Research Support grants are available to PhD students and to those who hold postdoctoral positions to offset the costs of conducting research that directly or indirectly informs efforts to address gambling-related harm.
For more information, see the application guidelines.
29 January 2024 — Student Travel/Conference Grants
Support is available for Master’s and PhD students, and to those who hold postdoctoral positions for registration and/or travel expenses to participate in conferences, workshops, training, courses, and other research-related activities.
For more information, see the application guidelines.
29 January 2024 — Open Access Funding
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.
29 January 2024 — Exploratory Research Grants (Application Period Closed)
Exploratory Research Grants develop capacity for research by providing funds to conduct preliminary/exploratory research that will encourage innovation and increase the capacity of researchers to compete successfully for other, larger, research awards and other funding sources. Such projects can include, but are not limited to:
- Secondary analysis of existing data
- Pilot and feasibility studies
- Development or testing of instruments
- Development of research methodology
- Small, self-contained research projects
Three grants are available: two valued at up to £30,000 and one valued at up to £90,000.
For more information, see the application guidelines.
