The Research Scholar Program aims to support early-career professors who are pursuing research in fields relevant to Google. The Research Scholar Program provides unrestricted gifts to support research at institutions around the world, and is focused on funding world-class research conducted by early-career professors. It is our hope that this program will help develop collaborations with new professors and encourage the formation of long-term relationships. The funds granted will be up to $60,000 USD and are intended to support the advancement of the professor’s research.

Proposals are selected through an internal review process. Applicants will be notified of their proposal status within six months of the initial submission. We ask applicants to categorize their proposals into one of the following areas of interest to Google in Computer Science and related fields: Algorithms and optimization Fundamental and applied science Health research Human-computer interaction Machine learning and data mining Machine perception Natural language processing Privacy Quantum computing Security Software engineering and programming languages Systems and Networking Systems.

Eligibility Note Institutions: We accept applications from full-time faculty at universities around the world. Funding is focused on supporting the faculty’s research. We do not allow applications from non-degree-granting research institutions. Since our funding is structured as unrestricted gifts to degree-granting Universities, we cannot process awards to other institutions (e.g. not-for-profits institutions, hospitals, non-degree-granting research institutes, etc) even if they are affiliated with a University. A Principal Investigator must apply in his or her capacity as a university professor and must be able to accept an award through that University. Principal Investigator Requirements: Applicants must be a full-time assistant, associate, or professor at a university or degree-granting research institution at the time of the application submission. Post doctoral staff can only serve as a co-PI, not a primary PI.
