COMCAST TECH RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT GRANTS FUND As the largest video, high-speed Internet, and phone provider to residential customers, Comcast Cable is committed to supporting external technical research and open source software development. Over the long term, this can lead to critical insights and advancements that can positively benefit consumers by delivering innovative new generations of products faster than ever before. The Comcast Technology Research & Development Fund offers funding for researchers at leading academic institutions and elsewhere to support research that is of mutual interest to Comcast and the research community. It also provides funding to support open source software development. While Comcast has supported this kind of work for many years, we are now doing so in a more strategic way. General Research Grants Targeted Research Grants Targeted Open Source Development Grants techfundcast/index.php/apply Applications can be submitted at any time this program is open. We anticipate announcing grant recipients at least two times per year, but may make announcements more or less frequently depending upon our review cycle. This site will be updated with the timing of grants throughout the year, so be sure to check back regularly. Depending upon the type of grant, the funding may take the form of an unrestricted gift to the designated researchers academic institution or may be a targeted/restricted grant to the applicable individual or organization. Larger grants may also be paid out in increments, such as over time or based upon meeting certain milestones in the work. From time-to-time, Comcast may permit some of the grants to cover expenses to be incurred for work to be performed within an agreed timeframe. Comcast reserves the right, particularly for larger general grants and for all targeted grants, to require additional written agreements governing each grant. All decisions on whether to accept or reject grants, and the amount of any approved grant, will be made in Comcasts sole discretion through review processes by knowledgeable employees and advisors. Moreover, Comcast may elect to change, expand, reduce or discontinue the scope of this program at any time. techfundcast/ Prior awards include: techfundcast/index.php/home/root/comcast-news/summer-2013-project-support-update
