CRC Round 2 Application Technical Assistance
To support the development of competitive applications, the SGC will offer Application Technical Assistance (TA) from third-party providers (TA providers) to eligible applicants for the CRC Implementation and Planning Grants. The SGC will provide Technical Assistance to applicants from Tribal communities. More information on Application TA will be available upon NOFA release.

Additionally, all applicants may submit questions regarding guidelines and application materials to the CRC Program staff at CRC@sgc.ca.gov.
