Cost Planning Notes:

The EU's contribution towards capital goods (e.g., hardware) is capped at 20% of their total contribution. At €50,000, only €10,000 may be allocated to capital goods. DX Alliance's €3,000 pre-award fee covers strategy, documentation, and submission support, sits outside the reimbursable grant budget, and is not covered by EU funds.
