Your real odds
This is a $30M global open call where roughly 10 to 60 awards are possible, but competition is international and the stated bar is Nobel-level ambition.
Google.org reviews applications with Google subject matter experts, Renaissance Philanthropy, and the Centre for Public Impact, so expect a rigorous multi-stage process. Previous winners are universities and research institutes with established technical teams, which tells you something about the baseline they expect.
