On June 27, 2024, Google will open applications for the new Google Academic Research Awards (GARA) program. GARA aims to support groundbreaking foundational and applied research in computing and technology around the world.
Each funding cycle, Google will identify key research areas and invite proposals from academics who are advising students and conducting research in a variety of technologically-focused domains that have societal implications. Selected projects will receive unrestricted gifts up to $150,000 USD, enabling researchers to pursue their innovative ideas and contribute to challenges and opportunities that will benefit the scientific community and society.

This collaborative approach fosters deeper connections between academia and industry, accelerating innovation and knowledge exchange.
Each cycle, GARA's research areas will evolve to address global challenges. This year, we are inviting proposals in the following areas:
