I'd say "help" means an hour or so answering questions (for free, purhaps). Anything more than that and I'd indicate that while you would like to help, two days of your time is quite a lot of free "help".

Maybe you would be willing to work for less during this time, since it is getting you a job (you can always work in the amount you feel you should have gotten into the salary if you get the job).

And maybe they pay you if the project doesn't get approved, but not if it does *and* you get the job. This way, you are not really out of two days either way.
