Applications for our postgraduate research support grants are now open. Awards of up to £3,300 per person 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. Applicants must be registered as a PhD student or hold a postdoctoral research position with a UK university. Applicants must also be members of the AFSG.
Previous awardees of the postgraduate research support grants have used the funds to study issues such as loot boxes and microtransactions in games, the policy roles of women harmed by gambling, and the causal dynamics of behavioural dependence and gambling harms. Applications are welcomed from a wide range of disciplines and approaches.
Those wishing to submit an application must first complete an Expression of Interest by 11 April, with full applications due by 16 May. Only those who have first submitted an EOI will be eligible to submit a full application. Applicants must also complete a conflicts of interest form as part of their application.
