Provide: Davidson collaborated with the Dalai Lama, who provided eight of his monks

Provide: ceder pessoa?

I'm checking a text that was translated into English and I'm not sure about the word choice in this case: "Davidson collaborated with the Dalai Lama, who provided eight of his monks (some of his most successful meditators) to participate in the MRI examination". Is "provide" the best option in this case? Would "assigned" sound better?

Thanks for your help.

Acredito que os verbos GRANT/ALLOW/CONSENT/GIVE e CONFER, trasmitem melhor a idéia de CEDER PESSOA.

It sounds much better. Tks!
