Funding Program: Schmidt Science Polymaths Program
The record claims a budget of $2,500,000 (2.5 million), which matches the source's statement of '$2.5 million each' per awardee. However, the source describes this as a per-recipient grant amount over five years, not a total program budget. The record's 'budget' field is ambiguous—it could mean total program budget or per-grant amount. The source does not provide a total program budget figure. The name is confirmed (with minor spelling variation: 'Schmidt Sciences Polymath Program' vs 'Schmidt Science Polymaths Program'). The status 'open' is unverifiable from the source, which discusses 2024 awardees but does not explicitly state whether applications are currently open. The $2.5M figure is confirmed as accurate for individual grants, but the record's use of 'budget' is imprecise without clarification of whether this is per-grant or total program.
