STALE_EVENT — DO NOT PUBLISH

KILL THIS STORY.

The source material announces a grant award from May 21, 2026. Today is June 13, 2026. The news event—the grant announcement itself—already occurred and has no follow-up developments.

Publishing a month-old announcement without new information about research progress, implementation, or community impact does not serve readers' current needs. There is no story here.

If researchers have begun work, produced preliminary findings, or taken concrete steps to deploy the grant funds, assign a follow-up story with those developments. Until then, spike this.
