The source text explicitly confirms all three key fields: (1) name is correct as 'Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology (Experiment)' or 'Feynman Experiment Prize'; (2) budget of $5,000 is directly stated in the source under the 'Feynman Experiment Prize ($5,000)' section; (3) status as 'open' is confirmed by the presence of a 2026 deadline (31 July 2026) and active nomination language ('Nominate for the 2026 prizes'), indicating the program is currently accepting submissions. The source shows 2025 winners have already been awarded, and the program continues to operate annually.
