Field notes
The organization describes a pass-through funding model rather than a course or advertising program: a funder names a cost, the Institute checks the student’s position with the lab, and payment follows. The homepage gives a sample ten-week budget with a $7,000 stipend and a stated $15,500 ceiling for all costs. It also provides a standards section, source-linked statistics, a paid-programs directory, and materials for students, companies, foundations, and laboratories.
