Description: Google Research Awards are one-year awards structured as unrestricted gifts to universities to support the work of world-class full-time faculty members at top universities around the world. Faculty members can apply for Research Awards by submitting a proposal to one of our two 2012 funding rounds.

Application Details:

The intent of the Google Research Awards is to support cutting-edge research in Computer Science, Engineering, and related fields. Each funded project will be assigned a Google sponsor. The role of the sponsor is to support the project by discussing research directions, engaging with professors and students, and overseeing collaboration between the project team and Google. We encourage Research Awards recipients to visit Google to give talks related to their work and meet with relevant research groups here. Through the Research Awards program, we try to fund projects where collaboration with Google will be especially valuable to the research team. Full-time faculty members from universities worldwide are eligible to serve as Principal Investigators (PIs) or co-PIs on Research Awards proposals.

?The application process for the Research Awards includes filling out an online form requesting basic information and uploading a PDF proposal via the form. A link to the application form for our April 15 round will be added to this page by April 1, 2012. Please note that Google cannot accept any proposal containing confidential or proprietary information

INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE INCLUDED

NOTE: All Letters of Intent and Full Applications must be processed through Research Development & Services for institutional approval. Requests for Institutional approvals should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline. A ROLA Proposal (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean electronic approvals) is required for each submission.
