A note on how to read this
This is a record of who won, not a formula for winning — we don't know who applied and didn't, so a pattern here describes real precedent, not a guarantee. Every figure traces to a source you can check yourself; we don't estimate or round. Covers 1 program so far.
New awards, added as they're confirmed.
