Why is the team chosen to target specifically the US? I am not sure I am

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.
