partial85% confidence

Last checked: 3/25/2026

The source confirms the prize name, grantees, amount ($5,000), and year (2009). However, the funder is identified as 'Foresight Institute' in the source text, not 'NPPTvNqRXA' as listed in the record. The record's funder field appears to be an identifier code that is not mentioned in the source. The date field shows '2009-10' which aligns with the October 2009 announcement date in the source. All substantive information is confirmed except for the funder identifier, which cannot be verified from this source.
