• Necessary funding for the CRP (travel,
  meetings) has to be included in the
  funding requests for the IPs
• National EFA provide special application
  forms for ECRP projects (others than for
  national bids, shorter)
• A financial summary for each IP has to be
  presented in the CRP application
