WRF's Tailored Collaboration (TC) Program is a matching program that supports utility-specific/regional issues and provides an opportunity for subscribing utilities to partner with WRF on research projects that may bpere more specialized or regional in nature, but still have the potential for broader applicability. This webcast shared everything you need to know to prepare to apply for the 2022 TC Program. Researchers that received funding through the 2020 TC Program presented on their ongoing projects, and three utility representatives shared perspectives on the benefits of the TC Program.
