Request

Request received: 11 July 2025

(Part 1)

Please can you supply me with copies of all correspondence and related memoranda sent or received by the UKRI in relation to the following funding opportunities?

• UKRI Gambling Harms Research Coordination Centre (GHRCC)

• Gambling harms research and innovation partnerships (GHRIP)

I request this information for the period 1st June 2025 to the present date. My request relates to the terms of the funding opportunities rather than applications for funding.

Clarification received 13 August 2025:

I would like to narrow the period of the search from 23rd June to 8th July and restrict it to correspondence received by UKRI in relation to the publication of the terms of funding (of the two gambling studies projects specified in my original FOI).

Clarification received 13 September 2025:

My revised request was worded on 13 August; can you confirm that UKRI received 537 individual pieces of correspondence relating to this matter (the UKRI terms and conditions for its gambling research programme) between 23rd June and 8th July? If that is the case, can I ask you to narrow the parameters of the search to the following dates: 1st July to 8th July 2025?

Additional element added 13 August 2025:

(Part 2) Please can you supply me with copies of all correspondence and related memoranda held by the UKRI in relation to revisions made to the following UKRI web page:

• Gambling harms research and innovation partnerships – UKRI1

Revisions were made on 26th June, 10th July, 20th July and 29th July.
