The Comcast Innovation Fund aims to enhance the Internet and connectivity through financial support for technology and public policy research. It seeks to fund innovative projects that promise to advance connectivity products and services, thereby contributing to the Internet's ongoing evolution and betterment.
The Comcast Innovation Fund grants program focuses on funding technology and public policy research that aims at advancing the Internet and connectivity services. It specifically supports technologists, researchers, and academics working on projects that fall within the fund’s annually updated areas of interest. The General Research Grants are designed to provide unrestricted financial support to researchers, primarily those affiliated with colleges and universities, supporting a wide range of technical research relevant to the evolution of the Internet. While the program mainly supports one-year projects, it is open to considering multi-year initiatives but funds them one phase at a time without any guarantee of continuous future funding.
