Five Deakin University researchers will share in $4,397,350 for new projects through Australian Research Council (ARC) Fellowships. The latest round of funding includes the Early Career Industry Fellowships, Mid-Career Industry Fellowships and Future Fellowships schemes.
Dr Hannah Pitt from the Institute’s Determinants of Health domain, was successful in securing an ARC Future Fellowship for $970,859.
The ARC Chief Executive Officer, Professor Ute Roessner, says that the funding support from these Fellowship schemes plays a vital role in building Australia’s research and innovation pipeline.
‘By investing in research capability, we enable the development of new knowledge and innovations that can translate into real-world impact, from improving education and environmental management to driving economic and social benefits.’
Dr Pitt will work to understand the broad range of gambling marketing strategies that young people (16-24 years) are exposed to and influenced by, beyond televised advertising. This project expects to document how the gambling industry and their allies frame gambling using novel marketing strategies to shape gambling attitudes and resist regulatory reform. The work undertaken will build new insights into how young people interpret novel forms of gambling marketing, new frameworks to map and monitor gambling marketing strategies, and youth informed policy recommendations.
