The deadline is March 17 and submissions up ~$2M will be accepted. A total of ~$25M in grants will be awarded.<\/p><p>Applications must meet the following criteria:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Impact<\/strong>: How does the application of AI accelerate progress towards the Global Goals, break through barriers, or reduce inefficiencies? Is the application grounded in research and data? Is there a clear plan to deploy an AI model, and what are the expected outcomes?<\/li><li><strong>Scalability and Sustainability<\/strong>: If successful, how can this project scale beyond the initial proposal? How will the project continue beyond Google.org&#8217;s funding? Is there a clear plan to share learnings and best practices with the global community<\/li><li><strong>Feasibility<\/strong>: Does the team have a well-developed, realistic plan for execution and the technical expertise needed to apply AI to the problem? Have they identified the right partners and domain experts?<\/li><li><strong>Data and Responsibility<\/strong>: While AI applications show great promise, these technologies raise important challenges. Is AI the appropriate tool to tackle the issue? Does this proposal apply technology innovatively and effectively? Does the use of AI align with Google&#8217;s AI Principles and Responsible AI Practices?<\/li><\/ul><p>Learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/globalgoals.withgoogle.com\/globalgoals\"><strong>AI for the Global Goals Grants<\/strong><\/a> opportunity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-65ba8f9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"65ba8f9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-015c83d\" data-id=\"015c83d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0da2b37 elementor-shape-rounded elementor-grid-0 e-grid-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-social-icons\" data-id=\"0da2b37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"social-icons.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-social-icons-wrapper elementor-grid\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-grid-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-icon elementor-social-icon elementor-social-icon-envelope elementor-animation-grow elementor-repeater-item-8b93740\" href=\"mailto:cschweik@umass.edu\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Envelope<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-envelope\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google.org&nbsp;Invites Applications for Efforts to Accelerate Progress on UN SDGs using AI.&nbsp;
