The New South Wales Office of Responsible Gambling (ORG) has announced it will increase the funding of responsible gambling research in the Australian state.
This funding aims to improve the quality, diversity, and impact of Australian gambling research in communities across the nation. It will apply to PhD scholarships and post-doctoral fellowships as well as study grants, the office announced.
“We are committed to providing up-and-coming researchers with an opportunity to dedicate their careers to gambling studies and have a real impact in our community,” said ORG Director Natalie Wright. “Research is crucial because it provides the evidence base for responsible gambling policy, interventions, and programs, and it is important to encourage our brightest minds to stay in or move into the gambling research field.
“We encourage collaborative partnerships, cross-disciplinary approaches, and applications from a diverse range of disciplines, to build knowledge and develop innovative approaches to working towards zero gambling harm.”
