Proposals may target barriers in any eligible export market, including single countries or reasonable regional groupings of countries.(d)Multiple proposals. Applicants may submit multiple proposals, but no Participant may have more than five approved projects underway at any given time.(e)Program funds only for specific uses. Participants shall not use program funds to supplement the costs of normal day-to-day operations or to promote their own products or services beyond specific uses approved in a given project.
