Why is the team chosen to target specifically the US? I am not sure I am comfortable with this choice.

I believe the specific thing for this was that (because of the focus of the grant money) the target is specifically US public policy and US schools (and we don't have much of an option in that, again the grant). Of course we would hope to be able to use the information gained to do things elsewhere.
