## Description

This MCP server provides decision-support tools for R&D organizations to evaluate the financial feasibility of European Union and national grants. Use `calculate_funding_potential` to determine target funding amounts, `calculate_risk_adjusted_value` to find the probability-weighted value of an opportunity, and `estimate_application_effort` to forecast the costs of preparing a proposal. It also includes `get_program_eligibility_summary` to identify suitable frameworks like Horizon Europe or EIC based on your project's innovation stage.

## Tools

### calculate_funding_potential
Determines the gross amount of funding an organization can realistically target for a specific R&D initiative

### calculate_risk_adjusted_value
Calculates the expected monetary value of a grant opportunity after accounting for the risk of rejection

### estimate_application_effort
Provides an estimate of the financial cost required to prepare the grant application

### get_program_eligibility_summary
Checks which programs are suitable for a project based on its current maturity

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much funding can I target for a large-scale R&D project in the prototype stage under Horizon Europe?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a large-scale project at the prototype stage under Horizon Europe, the potential grant funding is €2,500,000.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the expected value of a €500,000 grant if the success rate is 20%?
```

**Response:** 
```
The probability-weighted value of this grant opportunity is €100,000.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Which programs are available for a project in the basic research stage?
```

**Response:** 
```
For the basic research stage, the applicable programs are Horizon Europe and certain National Programs.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can I determine if my project is eligible for EIC funding?**
You can use the `get_program_eligibility_summary` tool by providing your current innovation stage to see which programs are suitable.

**How is the risk-adjusted value calculated?**
The `calculate_risk_adjusted_value` tool calculates this by multiplying the total potential funding by the estimated success rate (expressed as a decimal).

**Can I estimate the cost of a grant application?**
Yes, the `estimate_application_effort` tool provides a financial estimate of the resources required based on your R&D scale and innovation maturity.
