Grants

Each year, the Harrah Hospitality Research Center (The Center) invites faculty members from accredited universities to submit funding proposals for the purpose of investigating emerging issues and trends in hospitality industry. Awards are nonrenewable and project duration is limited to one year. Grants will be considered on the basis of industry impact and may vary widely in scope and size. Grants range in size from $20,000 to $50,000. Depending on the number of applications received and grant amount requested, up to five awards may be offered. The deadline for proposals is in March of each year and applications must be received electronically.

The Center oversees the grant process. The faculty of the Harrah Hotel College at UNLV and executives at Harrah’s Entertainment play a significant role in the Center’s research program by identifying specific grant topics every year. For information on the coming year’s topics, please see the links below.

Incomplete applications will not be considered. Investigators who have already received other funding in support of their specific research proposal are not eligible. The funding may not be used as a match in any matching grant program.
