Faculty members can apply for Research Awards by submitting a proposal to one of our two funding rounds. Recipients are selected through a comprehensive internal review process and notified of their awards within 4 months of the initial submission. Faculty members can apply for up to 150,000 USD in eligible expenses, but actual award amounts are frequently less than the full amount requested. Most awards are funded at the amount needed to support basic expenses for one graduate student for one year. Please see our FAQs for more details on eligibility and budgets.
The Faculty Research Awards Program supports academic research in computer science, engineering, and related fields. It aims at funding world-class research at top universities, facilitate interaction between Google and academia, and support projects whose output will be made openly available to the research community.
