Selection of participants is carried out by committees in Russia and the United States. Participants are drawn in equal numbers from the eastern and western hemispheres. The Institute strives for an ethnically diverse group of participants in its programs, and seeks the most qualified applicants, regardless of financial ability. Its board of directors includes interested members of the public, representatives of sponsoring agencies and organizations, and alumni of TBI programs. TBI receives in-kind and financial assistance from a broad coalition of individuals, foundations, public entities and private firms.
