How Can I Follow Up on a Gemini Academic Program Application?

Hello,

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), and I previously submitted an application to the Gemini Academic Program for research access, including Gemini API credits and higher rate limits.

It is its link:

When I open the application form now, it shows that I have already responded, so I can confirm that my application was submitted. However, I have not been able to find a way to check the status of my application or contact the team responsible for the program. I also tried using the Google Forms “Contact form owner” option, but I was unable to send a message through it.

Could someone please let me know:

  1. Whether there is an official email address or contact channel for following up on a Gemini Academic Program application.
  2. Whether applicants receive a confirmation or status-update email.
  3. Approximately how long the review process usually takes.

I am not asking for support regarding a standard Gemini API billing issue; my question is specifically about the Gemini Academic Program for researchers.

Thank you very much for any guidance.
