Expression of Interest: Gambling Harms Research Grants

Overview

Expression of interest 

You are invited to complete this survey to register your expression of interest (EOI) in applying for funding to support research in gambling harms.  

Full details of the opportunity are available in the pre-announcement: 'Gambling harms research grants'.

Please complete this survey to submit your EOI no later than 17 July 2026.

This should be completed by the prospective Project lead. 

The expression of interest is the first step in applying for this funding opportunity. It provides us with key information about your project and team ahead of the opportunity opening.  

The purpose of the expression of interest is to: 

• understand the level of demand for funding to support gambling harms research 
• identify any research projects that are not in scope for this opportunity 
• understand the spread of proposed research topics and the organisations involved to secure appropriate experts for assessment  

The information you provide will be used by UKRI staff only and will not be assessed by expert review. If a proposed project is considered not to be in scope for this opportunity, applicants will be informed prior to the opportunity opening.  

We strongly encourage you to submit an EOI so that we can secure appropriate expertise to assess your application. However, if you do not submit an EOI this does not prevent you from applying to the opportunity when it opens in the Funding Service. Submission of an EOI has no impact on any future applications.

What we are looking for 

This opportunity is for grant funding to support research projects addressing a challenge or question in gambling harms. It is open to the research and innovation communities across all UKRI research councils.

UKRI have identified priority areas of research, but welcome applications that address any relevant research challenge. Interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary approaches are encouraged.

For full details, including priority areas of research and eligibility for this opportunity, see ‘Pre-announcement: Gambling harms research grants' on the UKRI Funding Finder.
