Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 17 distinct recipients (and similar counts in prior years) across multiple program types, with a mix of repeat grantees and new entrants.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows eight new recipients in the latest year and a publicly posted LOI/application route; however, full proposals are invitation-only so selection appears curated rather than purely open.
