The Internet has generated a series of new opportunities and issues for policymakers, impacting everything from copyright to competition. As a company that started out in academia, we’ve long supported some of the world’s best computer science researchers in universities. Our
Google Research Awards grant program has been in operation since 2005 and has seen a number of leading academics from Asia participate, including Qingguo Zhou from Langzhou University and Haksoo Ko from the Seoul National University. Recently the program branched out into policy areas and we’re eager now to attract top notch researchers to submit applications on Internet policy matters.
Researchers can apply for up to USD$150,000. However most first time awards are funded at the amount needed to support basic expenses for one graduate student for one year, or around $50,000. Please see our
FAQs for more details on eligibility and budgets.
Applications for the next funding round are due by April 15th.
Each funded project will be assigned a Googler as 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.
The Research Awards program aims to stimulate public debate around the exciting challenges born in the Internet age. Please do apply and participate in this adventure.
