Funding Priorities for 2012
Proposed research investigations may focus on a broad range of research that develops and tests psychosocial or pharmacological approaches for prevention, intervention, treatment or relapse prevention of gambling disorders.
The NCRG is especially interested in brief interventions targeted at underrepresented populations, such as minorities, young adults and persons with subclinical gambling disorders (e.g., at-risk for problem gambling).
Other priorities include the following topics:
- Impact of Indian gaming
- Gambling and minorities
- Secondary data analysis
- Technology and gambling
