NCRG Centers of Excellence in Gambling Research
Established in 2009, the purpose of the NCRG Centers of Excellence in Gambling Research is to (1) advance the understanding of gambling disorders through innovative, multi-disciplinary research investigations; and (2) enhance the dissemination of research findings to the public. The Center of Excellence grants are intended to provide funding for a stable, long-term institutional focus on a complex set of gambling-related problems requiring an innovative, multidisciplinary approach.
Recipients are expected to provide leadership in the field by:
- Conducting cutting-edge investigations of gambling-related disorders
- Translating research findings for non-academic audiences
- Cultivating the next generation of gambling researchers by mentoring young investigators.
Investigative efforts should be broadly based, encompassing a variety of areas, including biological, biomedical, social, behavioral and/or clinical sciences. Applicants may request up to a total of $350,000 in direct costs for a period not to exceed 36 months.
