<p><strong><u>Who can Apply? </u></strong> One of the primary purposes of the California RREA program is to build internal capacity of Cooperative Extension Advisors and Specialists to respond to renewable resource issues. Both Cooperative Extension Advisors and Specialists are eligible to apply. Agricultural Experiment Station and other researchers/faculty are also eligible for funding when collaborating with Cooperative Extension Advisors or Specialists.</p>
