AGA Announces Applied Research Experience Internship
The American Gaming Association announced its new Applied Research Experience Internship, offering graduate students the opportunity to conduct funded research focused on the U.S. gaming industry.
Master’s-level students and above are invited to propose original research projects within the gaming space using primary or secondary data. Selected students will design and lead a funded research project of up to $5,000 that achieves academic rigor with practical industry application, fulfilling degree-seeking academic requirements.
Ideal candidates will demonstrate strong analytical and communication skills, familiarity with qualitative and quantitative research methods, and an interest in the intersection of gambling research, consumer behavior and industry operations.
“This program reinforces the AGA’s commitment to strengthening the research foundation that supports a responsible and innovative industry,” said Dr. Carly Johnson, the association’s director of research. “We’re proud to support the next generation of researchers whose insights will advance our understanding of the issues shaping gaming’s future.”
Participants will conduct their work under the supervision of the AGA research team, with opportunities for regular mentorship and structured guidance. The students will work with the AGA to create a cadence and scope that satisfies individual academic requirements.
