UKRI Gambling Harms Research Coordination Centre (GHRCC)

Apply for funding to coordinate and facilitate activity in the field of gambling harms research as part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)’s Research Programme on Gambling (RPG).

You must be based at a UK research organisation, Independent Research Organisation (IRO), or UK registered business eligible for UKRI funding.

The Centre will identify gaps in gambling research, lead and manage a multidisciplinary research programme, collaborate with stakeholders to boost high-quality independent studies, explore how UKRI and other data assets can support the evidence base, and coordinate Gambling Harms Research and Innovation Partnerships (GHRIPs).

The full economic cost of your project can be up to £10 million. UKRI will fund 80% of the full economic cost.

More information including eligibility criteria and how to apply can be found on the UKRI website.

The UKRI will be hosting a webinar for prospective applicants to clarify the purpose and processes of the call and answer any questions that they may have ahead of applying for the opportunity.
