Google Academic Research Awards 2026 (up to $100k)

Applications are open for the Google Academic Research Awards 2026. Google holds global open calls for proposals that support groundbreaking foundational and applied research in computing and technology. This funding cycle, Google is interested in topics focused on quantum computing. This call for proposals is open to professors (assistant, associate, etc.) at degree-granting institutions who are advising students and conducting research in the field of technology and computing. The 2026 cycle centers on two major research directions. The first is Early Fault-Tolerant Quantum Algorithms & Applications, which focuses on building useful algorithms for early fault-tolerant quantum systems and exploring practical applications that may work with relatively few logical qubits. The second is Quantum Computing Security, which covers the protection of quantum systems, vulnerabilities at the classical-to-quantum interface, and broader cybersecurity concerns around quantum infrastructure. Google is looking for research that can help make quantum computing safer, more dependable, and more usable in real-world environments. Submit by August 7, 2026 at 11:59:59pm AoE (UTC-12). Notification of decisions will be announced by October 30, 2026. For more information, visit Google Academic Research Awards.
