  * ZIM: budget_breakdown.csv and budget_justification.md (€465k)
  * DBU: budget_breakdown.csv and budget_justification.md (€152.5k)
  * LIFE Programme: budget_breakdown.csv and budget_justification.md (€1.815M)
- Created team CV files for all selected programs (CV_Damir_Mukimov.md)
- Added application documents structure:
  * funding/applications/budget/ - Master budget files and templates
  * funding/applications/team_cvs/ - Master CV and team expertise summary
- Updated FUNDING_GAP_ANALYSIS.md to reflect completed documents
- Added APPLICATION_REQUIREMENTS_REPORT.md with detailed requirements
