The General Directorate of Gambling Regulation (DGOJ), the national gambling regulator in Spain, has announced 26 projects will split new funding for research into gambling harm.
The ministry of consumer affairs launched the application process in Spain in April. Some 37 gambling-related research projects were put forward for funding from universities, health institutions, R&D centres and non-profit entities.
Submissions needed to be for projects focusing on harm or conditions related to gambling activities. A total of €1.3m ($1.4m) is being made available for this research.
Based on the State Research Agency evaluation report, the Evaluation Commission whittled this list down to 26. It has also been confirmed that the execution period for selected projects is being extended until 30 June 2024.
