The Danish Problem Gambling Committee received four applications for the 2024 funding round. None of the applications were awarded funding. Disbursements from the Danish Problem Gambling Committee are based on the vision of promoting the highest-quality research on gambling addiction and problematic gambling behavior. Applications are evaluated by the committee´s independent funding committee, which consists of recognized researchers from Denmark and abroad.

The Board of the Danish Problem Gambling Committee assesses that the research field in Denmark currently has limited capacity to absorb research funding, and that an important task going forward is to address this. The Board has therefore initiated measures including:

• Providing information about the Danish Problem Gambling Committee to research support units at Danish research institutions
• Giving feedback to rejected applicants whose projects show good potential, encouraging them to reapply with revised proposals
• Targeted information about future funding calls to relevant researchers and research institutions in Denmark

The unused funds from 2024 will be carried over for disbursement in 2025.
