What kinds of things can the ITA team do to enhance our project if we win an MDCP award?
Here’s a list of some of the enhancements that ITA has offered to MDCP award winners. For the most part, these are funded by “administrative funds” that the ITA team leader receives each fiscal year. • Travel expenses for ITA officials who assist you during visits to target markets. • Assistance in recruiting U.S. companies to participate in project activities. • Contracted research reports. • Travel expenses for foreign employees of the U.S. & Foreign Commercial Service to come to the United States to brief U.S. companies prior to traveling to the target market. Note that these enhancements are just that, enhancements. They should not be included in your application budget. For the most part, these are activities that you cannot or should not fund with monies included in your project budget.
