Our Research Commitment

AiR Hub is a research lab housed within the UNLV International Gaming Institute. All of our work adheres to the highest standards of academic integrity and independence, implementing procedures that go beyond those that are typically administered in university research settings. The Hub was established with unrestricted donations from our founding members, and our research is supported by a diverse range of funding sources, including donations, competitive grants, and contracted research.

AiR Hub maintains a clear separation between funding and research outcomes, with strict firewalls in place to ensure that no donor or external organization can influence research findings or editorial decisions. These practices align with IGI’s institutional research policies, which are detailed at IGI’s Research Policy page.

Industry Advisory Panel

AiR Hub’s Industry Advisory Panel is composed of individuals from our founding member organizations. The panel provides high-level advice on areas where emerging market trends and/or industry developments may benefit from academic research and stonger evidence bases. While this input helps shape the general direction of the Hub’s work, panel members are not involved in the design, conduct, editorial review, or decisions on publication of research projects. This structure ensures that the AiR Hub conducts independent and academically rigorous research.
