The National Center for Responsible Gaming (NCRG) funding priority for 2015 is to support research on screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) in order to improve identification of disordered gamblers, explore the efficacy of brief interventions for this population and increase the rate of disordered gamblers referred to treatment.
The NCRG is open to a wide variety of proposals for research in this area provided they are focused on adult populations.
Because a key aspect of SBIRT is the integration and coordination of screening, early intervention, and referral to treatment, NCRG welcomes proposals that involve collaboration between academic institutions and healthcare providers, such as hospitals, as well as state and local departments of public health.
