It is in the spirit of collaboration and desire to discover answers to complex problems that we are excited to announce the recipients of the 2015 Yahoo Faculty Research and Engagement Program (FREP) award. This academic outreach initiative is designed to produce the highest quality scientific collaborations and outcomes by engaging with faculty and students conducting research in areas of mutual interest. The FREP awards hundreds of thousands of dollars in unrestricted gifts to support new, exciting Internet research studies and experiments between academics across the globe and their Yahoo Research Scientist counterparts.
Over the course of the next year and beyond, FREP award recipients and Yahoo Labs scientists will work closely to further research in their mutual areas of interest. We were extremely impressed with all of the program submissions and would like to thank each professor who applied.
