Applications for the AFSG’s Postgraduate Research Support Grants programme open today, Wednesday 29 July. This year, three grants of up to £3,300 each 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.
Applications are welcomed from a wide range of disciplines, including psychology, public health, law, economics and medicine. 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. Funding cannot be given directly to individuals and must be administered by a UK university.
In order to apply, applicants must first submit an Expression of Interest form detailing basic information. Once the EOI has been submitted, applicants may then submit a full application. The application should include the following sections in order in one single PDF document.
- Title page
- Outline of project
- Current funding situation
- Completed conflicts of interest form
- Letter of support from PhD supervisor or postdoctoral line manager
All applications will then be reviewed by a minimum of two AFSG trustees according to the following criteria:
- Overall fit of research project(s) with the purpose of the funding program
