Harnessing IoT Technology to Enable Senior Healthcare

For Ke Sun, the future of technology lies in ambient intelligence (AmI). In contrast to Internet of Things (IoT) which relies on explicit devices, AmI embeds sensors and processors into everyday devices enabling adjustments within the environment to meet individual needs and preferences.

Imagine a home environment where facial recognition detects you at your doorstep and allows you access. Lighting adjusts to suit specific family members. Window treatments respond to heat and glare. Phone messages are played automatically. The system scans for your calendared events and favorite TV programming and delivers timely reminders.

Sun’s research focuses on delivering an accurate, robust, private, and affordable representation of AmI through the use of multi-modal sensors. This includes input from conventional human sensory data, such as audio and visual inputs, fused with unconventional non-human sensory data such as motion and wireless sensors, GPS, and biometric and ultrasound sensors, among others.

“The potential impact of my research could revolutionize independent living for the elderly, offering precise healthcare insights into behavior and cognition,” said Sun. “Additionally, the research could enable automated in-home monitoring of life-threatening conditions, detect chronic diseases, identify environmental hazards, and provide insights into human cognitive psychology.”

Sun’s research also addresses one of IoT’s most perplexing problems: privacy. Since voice assistants (VAs) were first introduced, consumers have been concerned that VAs record and send information to the cloud. Sun has designed MicShield, a companion device, which selectively jams unintended private speech while passing intended voice command.

“I am enthusiastic about collaborating with Google's exceptional talents to explore the seamless integration of my research into an expanded array of IoT and consumer electronic devices, effectively harnessing technology to enable human healthcare and enhance human experiences,” said Sun, who is advised by Associate Professor Xinyu Zhang in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Repurposing Phone Processors for a Smaller Carbon Footprint

Jennifer Switzer along with her coauthors, CSE professors Ryan Kastner and Pat Pannuto and PhD student Gabriel Marcano, is studying smartphone waste. The scale of the problem – an estimated 1.5 billion decommissioned smartphones annually – is nearly incomprehensible and demands a more nuanced solution than consumer recycling.

Smartphones begin life as copper, silver, gold, palladium and other raw materials. A carbon-devouring manufacturing process transforms these and other materials into components for assembly. After packaging and transportation, the devices begin their brief lifespan, an average of 2.5 years from purchase to deactivation.

Recycling these “junked” phones, so named because outdated models often languish in household junk drawers, dictates a second carbon intensive process to extract raw materials. It also ignores the reality that manufacturing smartphones leaves a larger carbon footprint than mining the materials. That’s precisely why Switzer’s novel strategy holds such promise.

Switzer’s proposal hinges on the impressive functional lifespan of smartphone processors. These processors are built to last, running faultlessly for 10 years or more, well beyond the truncated 2.5-year lifespan of most smartphones. Switzer and her coauthors hope to recover the unspent 75% of these processors’ usability, redeploying them for non-consumer applications.

“This award will make it easier for me to continue to pursue my interests in sustainable computing. I also think it's great that an industry leader like Google is interested in funding this sort of sustainability research,” said Switzer.

Earlier this year, Switzer and her coauthors earned a Distinguished Paper Award at the 2023 Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS) conference. Since then, their paper has had over 50,000 downloads.

Google PhD Fellowship 2023

Aktuelles | 30.08.2022

The Google PhD Fellowship Program was created to recognize outstanding graduate students doing exceptional and innovative research in areas relevant to computer science and related fields. Fellows will receive a yearly bursary towards his*her stipend/salary, health care, social benefits, tuition and fees (if applicable), conference travel and personal computing equipment. The funds will be given directly to the university to be distributed to cover the fellow’s expenses and stipend as appropriate. The bursary varies by country and may be granted for up to 3 years. In addition, the fellow will be matched with a Google Research Mentor. There is no employee relationship between the fellow and Google as a result of receiving the fellowship. The award does not preclude future eligibility for internships or employment opportunities at Google, nor does it increase the chances of obtaining them.

Google phd fellowship.

Limited competition (up to four from UIC)

August 2023 Update:

The competition is shifting to spring. The 2024 competition will open in the spring and we expect to have more details in October of 2023.

The information below pertains to applications from US institutions. There does not seem to be a citizenship requirement.

Students receive named Fellowships which include a monetary award. The funds are given directly to the university to be distributed to cover the student’s expenses and stipend as appropriate. The funds are given as an unrestricted gift, and it is Google’s policy not to pay for overhead on unrestricted gifts. In addition, the student will be matched with a Google Research Mentor who we hope will become a valuable resource to the student. There is no employee relationship between the student and Google as a result of receiving the fellowship. Fellowship recipients are not subject to intellectual property restrictions unless they complete an internship at Google. Fellowship recipients serving an internship are subject to the same intellectual property and other contractual obligations as any other Google intern. If a Fellowship student is interested, an internship at Google is encouraged, but not guaranteed or required. Awardees will be notified in January.

Benefits include:

Up to 3 years of Fellowship
Full tuition and fees (enrollment fees, health insurance, books) plus a stipend to be used for living expenses, travel and personal equipment [amount not specified]

Google PhD Fellowship recipients

Google in Latin America

How we’re working with Latin American CS researchers

Nov 21, 2022

[[read-time]] min read

Pablo Samuel Castro, a member of the Google Brain team in Montreal, says he ended up in computer science by chance. “Growing up in Ecuador, I was fascinated by our first computer,” he says, “but I didn’t really receive guidance that what I was interested in was computer science.”

At first, Pablo explored math — and even jazz performance. But after a mentor urged him to join a master’s and eventual PhD program, he pursued a career in machine learning. In his career, he says, he’s been surprised by the lack of representation of Latin Americans in the field.

“In 2018, there was a group created for Latin Americans attending the International Conference on Machine Learning, and we decided to meet for lunch,” he says. “Out of 8,000 in attendance, there were 20 of us. We were shocked,” says Pablo. Statistics like that are why earlier this year, we committed to the development of digital infrastructure, digital skills, entrepreneurship and inclusive, sustainable communities in Latin America. And today, we’re announcing three ways we’re acting on that commitment, especially across the research community in Latin America.

First, we’re launching Google’s PhD Fellowships for students attending Latin American universities. The fellowships are eligible to incoming, first, and second-year PhD students to help them get established in their programs full-time and persist through to their dissertation work. In addition to $15,000 of funding for up to three years, Fellows receive mentorship from a Google researcher to support their career development in CS research.

Second, we’re sponsoring key computer science conferences, organizations and events in the region. We've partnered with LatinX in AI since 2016 to support their workshops that aim to promote and increase the representation of Latino researchers at key CS research conferences. We invite Latino researchers to join us at NeurIPS 2022 , where they can connect with us at our sponsor table, at the main conference exhibit, or with the Googlers who will be participating in the LatinX in AI workshop as mentors, panelists and speakers. We sponsored RIIAA ’s fifth event this fall, which was co-located in Mexico City, Quito and a virtual conference space; the event was attended by over 700 registrants across students, faculty, and the private and public sectors in 37 countries. And in March, we look forward to attending KHIPU 2023 at Universidad de la República in Montevideo, Uruguay. “To be in proximity with these big AI researchers, to have them visit your poster and give advice - that personal connection is transformative for students who, like me at that stage, don’t know what AI research is about.”

Third, we’re growing our outreach to encourage participation in our faculty funding and collaboration programs. As we continue to grow our interactions with current and future CS researchers in Latin America, we’ll end the Latin America Research Awards and graduate the program to invest further in these three research needs. In 2020, we launched the Award for Inclusion Research , which supports faculty whose research is creating a positive impact for the state of the art and communities in need, and Research Scholar , which provides funding to early-career professors. In July, we expanded eligibility globally for exploreCSR , which funds faculty to expose students from historically marginalized gender, race, ethnicity, and ability groups to topics and career paths in CS research. Across these three programs and collaborations with faculty and students, we’ve awarded over $550,000 to Latin American researchers this year — but we’re looking to boost the number of Latin American applicants.

What outcomes does Pablo want to see? “More research happening in Latin America that is visible in these big conferences, and that focuses on problems and characteristics local to Latin America,” he says. “With Google being more involved in that space, I hope we can support that local understanding, and have the Latin American community present at the design table.”

Applications are currently open for Research Scholar (through December 1) and the Latin American PhD Fellowships (through January 11). We encourage early-career professors and incoming through second-year PhD students in Latin America to apply, and all members of the Latin American research ecosystem to connect with us at NeurIPS 2022 and KHIPU 2023 .

Harnessing IoT Technology to Enable Senior Healthcare

“I am enthusiastic about collaborating with Google’s exceptional talents to explore the seamless integration of my research into an expanded array of IoT and consumer electronic devices, effectively harnessing technology to enable human healthcare and enhance human experiences,” said Sun, who is advised by Associate Professor Xinyu Zhang in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Repurposing Phone Processors for a Smaller Carbon Footprint

CSE/CNS Ph.D. student Jennifer Switzer along with her coauthors, CSE professor Ryan Kastner, CSE/CNS professor Pat Pannuto and PhD student Gabriel Marcano, is studying smartphone waste. The scale of the problem – an estimated 1.5 billion decommissioned smartphones annually – is nearly incomprehensible and demands a more nuanced solution than consumer recycling.

“This award will make it easier for me to continue to pursue my interests in sustainable computing. I also think it’s great that an industry leader like Google is interested in funding this sort of sustainability research,” said Switzer.

CSL student receives 2020 Google Ph.D. Fellowship

7/8/2020 Deming Chen, CSL

Written by Deming Chen, CSL

Xiaofan Zhang has been selected as one of 30 awardees of a 2020 Google Ph.D. Fellowship across North America and Europe. The award recognizes outstanding graduate students who have done exceptional work in a number of computing disciplines. The Google Fellowship offers two years of support, a $35K annual stipend, full coverage of tuition and fees, and the opportunity to work with a Google research mentor.

"The student nominations we received were exemplary in their quality, but Xiaofan especially stood out and was endorsed by the research scientists and distinguished engineers

within Google who participated in the review," wrote the Google Ph.D. Fellowship committee. "We have given these students unique fellowships to acknowledge their contributions to their areas of specialty and provide funding for their education and research. We look forward to working closely with them as they continue to become leaders in their respective fields."

Zhang is advised by CSL Prof. Deming Chen in the ES-CAD research group. He has been working with CSL Prof. Wen-mei Hwu, Prof. Jinjun Xiong, and Dr. Cong (Callie) Hao in the IBM-ILLINOIS Center for Cognitive Computing Systems Research (C3SR). Both Chen and Hwu are faculty in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering . Xiong is an IBM researcher and an adjunct research faculty in ECE, and Hao is a post-doc researcher in the ES-CAD group.

Zhang's research interests include deep learning, energy-efficient computing, hardware-software co-design, and FPGA. In his fellowship proposal, "Efficient Hardware/Software Co-Design Methods to Unleash Full AI Capabilities for Mobile Devices," Zhang aims to provide accessible, private, efficient, and high-quality AI services by using mobile devices. The major challenge comes from the gap between demanding AI applications and scarce on-device resources and power budgets. Since there is no perfect solution to solve this problem, Zhang proposes a hardware/software co-design approach to enable an ideal match between AI algorithms and their hardware accelerators to unleash AI capabilities from resource-constrained mobile devices.

Zhang has published the initial results of his proposal in six top-tier conferences. Among them, DNNBuilder won the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer Aided Design (ICCAD) William J. McCalla Best Paper Award in 2018 by delivering the state-of-the-art DNN (deep neural network) accelerators, and SkyNet won double championships of the extremely competitive System Design Contest for low power object detection in the IEEE/ACM Design Automation Conference (DAC-SDC) in 2019. Zhang will continue working toward his research goal to address the challenges of implementing AI applications on mobile devices with support from Google Fellowship.

To receive the Google fellowship, students must go through three rounds of evaluation. Students must be nominated by their department, and each department may submit up to four nominations. The Graduate College coordinates the campus-level selection process to determine the final nominees from Illinois and sent to Google for the national competition. This year, 30 awardees were selected across North America and Europe among a few hundred eligible nominees. The acceptance ratio of the national competition is less than 10%.

Since its inception in 2009, 11 other Illinois Ph.D. students have been named Fellows in the highly selective program; Zhang is the second awardee from ECE Illinois.

Visiting Researcher Program

I am employed full-time at a university, but I am not a professor. Can I apply?

The program is open to active professors at degree-granting institutions who are advising students and conducting research.

What is the proper format for an Award for Inclusion Research proposal?

Below is an example of what a proposal may look like (though the relative length of each section may differ by proposal). The full proposal should be a maximum of 5 pages:

[Maximum 3 Pages] The proposal overview, proposal body, and data policy.
[Maximum 2 Pages] The CV of the primary Principal Investigator, which is required for all applications.
We would prefer proposals to respect a minimum 10pt font size and 1-inch (2.5-cm) margins. Our reviewers value readability.
Proposal Title
Principal Investigator full name, contact information (postal address, email address, phone), affiliation (university, school, college and/or department)
Research goals and problem statement
Description of the work you'd like to do, and expected outcomes and results.
How will your research impact an underrepresented group?
How does your research relate to prior work in the area (including your own, if relevant)? What makes you qualified to do this research work?
References, where applicable.
Our goal is to support work where the output will be made available to the broader research community. To that end, we ask that you provide us with a few sentences sharing what you intend to do with the output of your project (e.g. open sourcing code, making data sets public, etc.). Please note that the awards are structured as unrestricted gifts, so there are no legal requirements once a project is selected for funding. This is simply a statement of your current intentions.
We require a CV for at least the primary Principal Investigator on the proposal. We will accept CVs from each of the Principal Investigators listed on the proposal (up to two are allowed). Each CV must be limited to two pages. Any submitted CV that is longer than 2 pages may be cut off at 2 pages before the proposal review process begins.

Please do not add a budget section on your proposal since it will not be considered.

Can I speak to someone from the team to understand if my research is eligible?

Yes. Please review former recipient proposals to see examples of eligible research previously funded by the program. Contact [email protected] if you have unanswered questions.

Can I submit a proposal outside of the featured research areas on the main webpage?

Yes, we have a miscellaneous area in the application. Feel free to submit a proposal in any research area, in computing and technology, that addresses the needs of historically marginalized groups globally.

Does the co-PI need to meet the same eligibility criteria as the primary PI?

Yes, the co-PI must meet the same eligibility criteria as the primary PI. We are providing an exception if the co-PI is a postdoctoral researcher.

Can I submit a proposal around pre college research efforts?

No, proposals should only be focused on higher education.

Can I submit a proposal around funding a larger program?

This is not applicable for the AIR program unless the proposal studies the efficacy and applies research to the larger program.

Open advice to Google Research Awards proposal writers

As a part of the group of engineers that review proposals for this program, we read a lot of proposals. We'd like to read more good proposals. Here's some advice on how you can improve the content of your short proposal and make reviewing it easier.

A good research grant proposal:

Clearly specifies a problem. Good research is driven by a great problem or question, and a good proposal starts with a clearly specified one.
Describes a specific, credible, relevant outcome. Try to identify a specific and appropriately sized outcome, to give us a clear notion of what the research award would be enabling. What will likely come to be that might otherwise not happen? While this outcome should be a decisive step towards achieving your vision, it generally won't be adequate to completely achieve it. It often helps to describe both the minimum that is likely to be accomplished and a potential best-case. Since picking the right datasets and test cases is often important, tell us which ones you plan to use.
Crisply differentiates the proposed contribution from prior work. Please apply normal practices (citations, etc.) for documenting how your work will materially advance the state of the art. Make it clear how your work will be changing the state of the art, and not simply trying to match it.
Tells us how the research challenge(s) will be addressed. Successful research projects combine a great problem with ideas for solutions, too. We recognize that all the answers won't be known yet, but we'd like to feel that the direction has been established, and a plausible path has been identified. (Try to avoid proposals of the form "We want to look at problem X".) It's hard to have a big impact without taking risks, but please identify what the difficulties are likely to be and how you plan to mitigate them. It may help to explain how you succeeded in addressing analogous problems in other projects.
Puts the proposed work in context. Most projects we fund also have support from other sources. To help us understand the expected impact of Google support, please explain what funding you already have for this area of research and how the proposed work relates to your existing plans. Do you plan to build a capability for other research, provide a tool, reproduce a prior result, collaborate with others to try something out, follow up on a promising idea, or explore a new one? All are potentially of interest; we just want to know.
Makes the case to a non-expert. While we try to have your proposal reviewed by a Google expert in your field, it will also be read by non-experts, so please make at least the motivation and outcomes broadly accessible.
Tells us how this research impacts an underserved community and why you are qualified to do this research. It can be through social, cultural, or regional expertise, specifically related to the research to conduct successful work.
The proposal should show promise that it will benefit society or advance desired societal outcomes.

What research areas do the CS-ER Awards support?

Priority research areas include, but are not limited to:

Developmental readiness: What are effective instructional strategies for identifying whether a student is developmentally ready to learn particular CS concepts?
Engagement: How does early CS experience impact future interest in CS?
Equity: What interventions, supports, approaches or materials are most effective for increasing engagement and success for students from historically marginalized groups?
Implementation: How can districts and states verify the effectiveness of their CS education implementations?
Preservice education: What exemplary and scalable models exist for incorporating CS learning into teacher preparation programs?
Professional development: What are the best practices for CS PD in terms of positively impacting student learning?
Teaching CS: What models of CS content delivery provide the largest impact on students learning (after school, in school discrete courses, in school integrated into other disciplines)? How do we measure effective CS teaching?

Are students attending institutions outside the United States and Canada eligible?

No, students attending institutions outside the United States and Canada are not eligible for CSRMP at this time. We hope to expand to other regions/countries in future academic years.

What is considered an adjacent field for computer science?

CSRMP supports students from historically marginalized groups in their pursuit of computing research pathways. In order for students to have a beneficial experience in the program, students should be enrolled in a degree-granting program in Computer Science, an adjacent field (e.g., Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Information Science, Information Systems, Information Technology), or a field that includes a programming/computer science foundation.

Will feedback be provided on the proposal that we submit?

No, applicants will not receive feedback on the proposal submitted.

Is it possible to receive an extension?

No, all applications must be submitted by 11:59:59pm on the day of the application deadline. Late submissions are not reviewed, and extensions are not granted.

What is considered a “historically marginalized group"?

The definition of who is historically marginalized is responsive to a specific region, context, and its nuances; the proposal should define the students from groups historically marginalized in computing research that the initiative aims to impact, and how the initiative will address their needs.

What opportunities do you have for university students?

You can find information on our programs for students on the Student Page of Google’s job site.

How can I find more information about recruiting, on-campus events, or other non-research topics?

You can visit our student site at google.com/students .

How can I submit an idea to Google.org?

For information on philanthropic initiatives at Google, visit the Google.org site.

Does Google have a program to supply professors with Android phones or Chrome OS devices for research or teaching purposes?

If a professor needs phones, tablets, or Chromebooks for research purposes, he or she can submit an application to our Faculty Research Awards program requesting the budget needed to purchase the devices. Google does not currently have a program to provide Android phones or other hardware to be used for teaching or classroom purposes.

I have a question I need additional help with. Who can I contact?

Please look through the entire FAQ above before writing in; we will not be able to respond to questions whose answers are contained in this document. For questions about students, recruiting, on-campus events, or other non-research topics regarding universities in North America, please email [email protected] . If you have questions specific to your region, you may send questions to [email protected] for universities in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East, or to [email protected] for universities in China. Please note that due to the high volume of emails we receive, we may not be able to respond to questions or requests that don't fall into one of the categories listed above.

What does the Google PhD Fellowship include?

Students receive named Fellowships which include a monetary award. The funds are given directly to the university to be distributed to cover the student’s expenses and stipend as appropriate. In addition, the student will be matched with a Google Research Mentor. There is no employee relationship between the student and Google as a result of receiving the fellowship. The award does not preclude future eligibility for internships or employment opportunities at Google, nor does it increase the chances of obtaining them. If students wish to apply for a job at Google, they are welcome to apply for jobs and go through the same hiring process as any other person.

How are applications evaluated?

Applications are evaluated on the strength of the research proposal, research impact, student academic achievements, and leadership potential. Research proposals are evaluated for innovative concepts that are relevant to Google’s research areas, as well as aspects of robustness and potential impact to the field. Proposals should include the direction and any plans of where your work is going in addition to a comprehensive description of the research you are pursuing.

In Canada and the United State, East Asia and Latin America, essay responses are evaluated in addition to application materials to determine an overall recommendation.

A nominee's status as a member of a historically marginalized group is not considered in the selection of award recipients.

Research should align with Google AI Principles .

Incomplete proposals will not be considered.

How are Google PhD Fellowships given?

Any monetary awards will be paid directly to the Fellow's university for distribution. No overhead should be assessed against them.

What are the intellectual property implications of a Google PhD Fellowship?

Fellowship recipients are not subject to intellectual property restrictions unless they complete an internship at Google. If that is the case, they are subject to the same intellectual property restrictions as any other Google intern.

Will the Fellowship recipients become employees of Google?

No, Fellowship recipients do not become employees of Google due to receiving the award. The award does not preclude future eligibility for internships or employment opportunities at Google, nor does it increase the chances of obtaining them. If they are interested in working at Google, they are welcome to apply for jobs and go through the same hiring process as any other person.

Can Fellowship recipients also be considered for other Google scholarships?

Yes, Fellowship recipients are eligible for these scholarships .

After award notification, when do the Google PhD Fellowships begin?

After Google PhD Fellowship recipients are notified, the Fellowship is effective starting the following school year.

What is the program application time period?

Applications for the 2024 program will open in March 2024 and close in May 2024 for all regions. Refer to the main Google PhD Fellowship Program page for each region’s application details.

A global awards announcement will be made in September on the Google Research Blog publicly announcing all award recipients.

How can I ask additional questions?

Southeast Asia: [email protected]

What is the evaluation criteria when assessing proposals?

To ensure fairness, we use a scoring rubric for consistency across reviews. We look at the criteria below to assess proposals. Proposals must comply with the required format and other Research Scholar Program guidelines.

Faculty Merit : Faculty is accomplished in research, community engagement, and open source contributions, with potential to contribute to responsible innovation.
Research Merit : Faculty's proposed research is aligned with Google Research interests, innovative, and likely to have a significant impact on the field.
Proposal Quality : The research proposal is clear, focused, and well-organized, and it demonstrates the team's ability to successfully execute the research and achieve a significant impact.
Broadening Participation : Faculty is committed to broadening participation in computing through their work on a variety of initiatives, including, for example, designing and deploying programs, and training and mentoring students from historically marginalized groups.
AI Ethics Principles : The research proposal strongly aligns with Google's AI Principles .

What are the steps for the selection process?

November: Applications open
December/January: Proposal reviews and scoring
February: Committee reviews proposals, scoring and make selections
March: Approval process for selected proposals
April: Applicants are notified of decision

We completely understand the desire to receive feedback and do our best to meet this request. However, due to the high volume of applications received, you may not receive feedback on your proposal. To ensure fairness, we use a scoring rubric for consistency across reviews.

How many times can I apply for the Research Scholar program?

Faculty may apply up to a maximum of 3 times within the 7 years they received their PhD.

Can I receive this award more than once?

Faculty can receive a Research Scholar award only once. Previous Faculty Research Award recipients are still eligible to receive a Research Scholar award.

Who is eligible to apply for the Research Scholar Program?

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:

Global faculty who have received their PhD less than 7 years from submission from degree-granting institutions who are doing research within fields relevant to Google.
An applicant may only serve as Principal Investigator or co-Principal Investigator on one proposal per round, they cannot be listed on two separate proposals.
We understand that titles may differ globally. In order for someone without the title of professor to apply, he or she must be a full-time faculty member at an eligible institution and serve as a formal advisor to masters or PhD students. We may, at our discretion, provide funding for Principal Investigators who advise undergraduate students at colleges that do not award advanced degrees.

Past Applicants:

If an applicant’s proposal was not selected for funding the previous round, they are welcome to apply with a new proposal (or substantively revised proposal) the following round. A Principal Investigator can apply a maximum of 3 times within the 7 years post-PhD.

How do I apply for the Research Scholar Program?

The application process includes filling out an online form requesting basic information and uploading a PDF proposal via the form. As part of the online form, you will be asked to select a topic area. Please select carefully, as this will help us in ensuring your proposal is read by the appropriate reviewers. Do not send any confidential or proprietary information in your proposal. Any information you send us as part of your application will be considered not confidential regardless of any markings or designations on it.

I have a social science background, can I still apply?

Yes. We focus on funding social science research that looks at technology's implications and impacts on individuals and society. We typically review submissions from fields like human-computer interaction, psychology, and science and technology studies, as well as research in computer science fields with a strong emphasis on the human experience.

What is the proper format for a Research Scholar proposal?

The proposal should be a maximum of 5 pages if you are a sole Principal Investigator.
If you choose not to include the co-Principal Investigator’s CV then your proposal should only be 5 pages.
The extra 2 pages will only accommodate for an additional CV, not for additional proposal content.
The maximum page limit includes the 2-page CV of the primary Principal Investigator, which is required for all applications (again a 2-page CV for a co-Principal Investigator is optional).
To be fair to you and others, we do not consider proposals longer than the maximum page limit.
We request a Google Scholar profile link as part of the online application form. Our reviewers find it helpful to be able to easily reference a Principal Investigator's publication history to see how the current proposal relates to past work the Principal Investigator has done in relevant fields. The Google Scholar profile complements, but does not replace, the Principal Investigator's 2-page CV.
We do not require a budget breakdown since we have flat funding amounts we will grant based on region.
Below is an example of what a proposal may look like (though the relative length of each section may differ by proposal).

Proposal Format

Research goals, including a problem statement.
Description of the work you'd like to do, as well as the expected outcomes and results.
How this relates to prior work in the area (including your own, if relevant)
The maximum length of a Principal Investigator CV is two pages. Any submitted CV that is longer than 2 pages may be cut off at two pages before the proposal review process begins.
We require a CV for at least the primary Principal Investigator on the proposal. We will accept CVs from each of the Principal Investigators listed on the proposal (up to two are allowed). Each CV must be limited to two pages.

Should I add a budget breakdown in my proposal?

Please do not include budget details in your proposal. We will be providing flat funding amounts based on the cost of student tuition on a regional basis.

How much funds will I get if I am awarded?

We provide support up to $60,000 USD depending on the cost of student tuition on a regional basis.

I am not eligible for this program, how can I apply to other programs?

Our website is consistently updated with new programs we offer. We encourage you to connect with our Google researchers at conferences to build more opportunities for applying to research grants.

Are Research Scholar Awards eligible for extensions?

The program is designed to support one year of work. If you are selected as a recipient of a Research Scholar award, we will partner you with a Google sponsor who can navigate the potential of an extension.

Can I speak to someone from the Research Scholar team to ask additional questions?

We will be providing limited email support via [email protected] . Due to the volume of emails we receive, we may not be able to respond to questions where the answer is available on the website.

What is the timeline?

September 20, 2023: Applications close
October 2023: Notification of proposal decisions

The program is open to active faculty members at degree-granting institutions who are advising students and conducting research and Principal Investigators employed at universities and academic research institutions.

What is the disclosure policy for the proposals?

Our goal is to support work where the output will be made available to the broader research community. To that end, we ask that you provide us with a few sentences sharing what you intend to do with the output of your project (e.g., publications, open sourcing code, making data sets public, etc.).

Can I submit a proposal outside of the areas of interest outlined above?

Yes, proposals directly applicable to Trust & Safety in technology research will be accepted.

Reviewers will do their best to provide limited feedback on submitted proposals.

Applications are evaluated on the strength of the research proposal, research impact, feasibility, and responsible research. Research proposals are evaluated for innovative concepts that are relevant to Google’s research areas, as well as aspects of robustness and potential impact to the field. Proposals should include the direction and any plans of where your work is going in addition to a comprehensive description of the research you are pursuing.

Do countries in the United Kingdom/Great Britain meet the grant preference for “projects that work within an EU context”?

While preference will be given to proposals addressing trust & safety issues in European Union (EU) member states, we are accepting and will consider proposals from all countries listed on the list of eligible countries in the application form.

No, all applications must be submitted by 11:59 pm PST, Wednesday, September 20. Late submissions will not be reviewed.

We will be providing limited email support via [email protected] . Due to the volume of emails we receive, we may not be able to respond to questions quickly.

Open advice to proposal writers

Here's some guidance on how you strengthen your short proposal. A good research grant proposal:

How many times can I express interest in the Visiting Researcher Program?

Faculty and PhD graduates can express interest multiple times, but will only be contacted if a role becomes available. We expect there to be a high amount of interest for these positions.

I have a social science background, can I still express interest?

Yes. Google is actively focused on social science research that looks at technology's implications and impacts on individuals and society. We engage faculty and PhD graduates from fields like human-computer interaction, psychology, and science and technology studies, as well as research in computer science fields with a strong emphasis on the human experience.

We will be providing limited email support via [email protected] . Due to the volume of emails we receive, we may not be able to respond to questions where the answer is available on the website.

To arrive at the edge of the world's knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together, and have them ask each other the questions they are asking themselves.
