On Wednesday, the ICRG announced it reached a deal with the NFL to address the impact of gambling behaviors on college athletes and students. As part of the pact, the NFL Foundation is donating $600,000 over three years to fund research on the risk factors and impact of gambling on college athletes and students. The research, led by the ICRG, will help identify strategies to reduce gambling-related harm through education and policy.
The research will focus on how college students interact with gambling platforms.
“The NFL has once again demonstrated its commitment to player and fan protection by supporting this critical research targeting young adults,” said ICRG President Arthur Paikowsky. “The NFL and ICRG together will make a meaningful contribution to understanding and implementing policies and programs that support a safer gambling environment.”
