TIGER - Who We Are

TENNESSEE INSTITUTE FOR GAMBLING EDUCATION AND RESEARCH logo

The Tennessee Institute for Gambling Education and Research (TIGER) started over two decades ago when we realized that individuals in our community were experiencing gambling related harm, and that assessment and treatment research to address gambling problems was needed. Our work has consistently received external funding since 2005. Current efforts are primarily funded by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.

Our Mission

Create and actively manage an accessible, engaging evidence-based system of care to reduce the risk of gambling-related harms for all Tennesseans.

 

Our Vision

To be the best problem gambling research and clinical team in the world through our contributions to the understanding of the prevention, assessment, and treatment of gambling related harms.

 

Our Values

  • Team Science
  • Evidence-based practice & practice informed research
  • Compassionate & invested understanding of our role in creating change
  • Integrity
  • Having a local impact in our urban and rural communities by helping those who are underserved

 

TIGER operates to accomplish goals across two domains, The Gambling Lab and The Gambling Clinic. Please explore the tabs at the top of the page to learn more about these two domains. Meet our staff here!
