Google's resources are already being used to ask biological questions that NIH is reluctant to fund (I know, because after NIH was reluctant to fund my research, I went to Google and did it there instead). I felt it was pretty important that the knowledge was diffused, this includes both publications and data dumps.

Does Google give away funding for projects?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, Google has several research awards, including this one: https://research.google.com/research-outreach.html#/research...

and previously I helped run the Exacycle Visiting Faculty program where we brought in postdocs and professors to use our computational resources.

Thats great to know. I thought Google stayed out from academia.
