3. Question: The NOFO states the following regarding the email subject line for applications: "Include the following in the subject line: [Applicant Organization Name] HY 444-80-0711." However, I noticed that the GA page for this program (also linked below for reference) provides slightly different instructions: "The completed documents are to be emailed on or before May 7, 2025...with the subject line stating [the] last 4 digits of CSFA #0711-01 [and the] Provider Organization Name." Just to confirm, should applicants refer to the instructions provided in the NOFO or the GA page?
   Answer: Both will be accepted.
