I started phase 2, and some feedback to think about for you.
According to the SMART coordinator for the facility, you being accepted is not just a lab saying "we will use them", it is a specific team leader potentially signing off. Your lab is fronting you as a cost, so larger facilities may have more ability to get people in. GVSC had 18 people come to the facility tour for the year I was accepted, I do not know how many stayed, but I was informed that the team I am in now is the one who wrote the check. Team leaders often say they would like more people, but they have to be willing to take the dive.
I am very appreciative for the offer, but if someone is having to front the cost, a bigger facility is more likely to have teams with budget.
