I am a member of one of the projects that got awarded. We desperately are in need of better infrastructure for our development and testing purposes. Also we plan on collaborating face-to-face the coming year and the award definitely takes care of the expense. One of our team members is going to work full time on the project and we will be able to support her for at least a couple of months. We are all so excited! :)
Btw, I am a part of the project PeARS.

I am very interested in your project.
But I couldn't find a binary or source that I could compile, on your website or your github page. Can you point me in the right direction?

Our github account is here: https://github.com/PeARSearch/
We are not yet release ready. We plan on making our first release later this year. Please feel free to hangout at our IRC channel: #pears on Freenode.
We are at a very early stage of development and we have got a lot of work to do. Any kind of contribution would be highly appreciated.

Thanks, very exciting project. I already made another post in this comments section before reading this (I was that excited :P). I see there's plans for a FF-plugin which is great news. My mind is a little blown as I have never really thought about P2P-search as a possibility. Less centralized power over search is a great and important cause (imo).
