Applicants from industry and details on financial award

Hi,

I am wondering if research scientists(with doctoral degree) from Industry are eligible to apply? If yes, how does the use of the fellowship funds work? Is it paid directly to the applicant or the employer organization. Can you also kindly elaborate on the use of the fellowship award? Is there a specific breakdown, especially for industry applicants. What would constitute as "research -specific" uses. Salary support and research costs, etc? Or only research related costs? Thank you so much!
