Any researcher working in Canada is eligible to apply. The majority of data collection must be conducted within Ontario communities and focus on Ontario residents. For submissions originating outside Ontario, collaboration with Ontario organizations or researchers is preferred.

At the time of application, the principal investigator(s) and co-investigator(s) must demonstrate an appropriate level of research training and experience to carry out the proposed research program.

Researchers are not restricted in the number of applications they can submit for a Research Award competition (either as principal investigator or co-investigator) provided the research projects are sufficiently different in scope and do not overlap. Where practical, researchers are encouraged to combine efforts and submit collaborative research projects.

The centre is committed to demonstrating results to Canadians for the money invested in gambling research. Applicants who have previously received funding from the Centre will be assessed on their past performance of funded research in relation to dissemination and publication of results.

Applicants are not permitted to concurrently submit the same or similar proposals to a separate funding agency.

Private sector applicants are eligible for awards provided that the proposed research is not aligned with the development of commercial products or programs.
