NoteThe record claims a budget of $2,500,000 (2.5 million) and status 'open'. The source confirms the $2.5M figure but with important context: this is the per-awardee grant amount ('up to $2.5 million each'), not the total program budget. The source does not state the overall program budget. The status 'open' is unverifiable from the source—the article discusses the 2024 awards announcement but does not explicitly state whether applications are currently open or closed. The program name is confirmed as accurate. The partial verdict reflects that the budget figure is confirmed in context but the interpretation (total program budget vs. per-awardee grant) differs from what the record may imply, and status cannot be verified from this source.
