If any documents are submitted in a draft form (e.g. an annual plan that has not yet been approved by the General Assembly), please link to the final version when it has been approved, even if after the deadline.

Please review key FDC documents, including the FDC Framework , Guidance for the FDC from the Board, and the FDC's funding recommendations: FDC recommendations . These documents include critical information for applicants.
