Searching, please be patient ...Emerging Team Awards
The goal of this program is to support interdisciplinary teams of expertise in relation to specified 5-year research agendas that add substantially to our understanding of problem gambling and our ability to reduce associated harm.
To be eligible, teams must be conducting collaborative research in Ontario research institutions.
The Centre encourages focused applications in line with the following priorities:
Prevention – agendas that are consistent with risk avoidance and risk reduction strategies, and address any combination of:
- developing/testing theory-based models of prevention for problem gambling• developing/testing prevention resources aligned with theory-based outcomes• developing/testing approaches to increase rates for low risk gambling practices and cognitions• developing/testing prevention approaches aimed at etiological pathways associated with problem gambler sub-types
Gambling Environment – agendas that address the environments in which gambling occurs or the interface between gamblers and various forms of gambling through any combination of:
- elucidating the interface/interaction between gamblers and various forms of gambling, and the related impact on problem gambling rates• identifying factors within gambling environments that influence the onset of impaired control over gambling• developing/testing modifications to gambling environments or the interface between gamblers and games that reduce the incidence of impaired control over gambling• developing/testing modifications in gambling environments or the interface between gamblers and games that assist with the identification of and early intervention into problem gambling
Other – other agendas that proponents consider worthy of investment:
- agendas must be clearly specified and elaborated, and justified in terms of their significance to the problem gambling field
Awards are for a period of up to five years subject to a satisfactory performance review in the third year. The maximum value of the award is $100,000 (plus a Doctoral Studentship of $20,000) per year, for a total of $600,000.
