Time+effort required to write a proposal.  Would you be happy
delaying the 2.16 for, say, a month, while we spend effort writing
that proposal (which may or may not be accepted) ?  When all's
said and done, I wouldn't be surprised if it worked out to that
much effort.

The mentor is expected to spend some amount of time with the
student.  Maybe it's one hour per week; maybe it's an hour each
working day.  I'm not certain -- check their FAQ.
