Google invites applications for the Google Research Scholar Programme for Early-Career Professors in the USA in 2023.
It encourages submissions from professors globally who are teaching at universities and meet the eligibility requirements. Google hopes that this program will help develop collaborations with new professors and encourage the formation of long-term relationships.
It is worthy of note that awards are disbursed as unrestricted gifts to the university and are not intended for overhead or indirect costs. They are intended for use during the academic year in which the award is provided to support the professor’s research efforts.
Worth of Award
The funds granted will be up to $60,000 USD and are intended to support the advancement of the professor’s research.
