Question: I was trying to apply to the grant, but it was impossible to do so from the grants.gov website. Is there any other mechanism?
Response: Applications must be submitted through grants.gov.

You may reach back out to WHAGrants@state.gov if you continue having issues after contacting grants.gov support.
Question: The FY23 RESI NOFO says that the narrative proposal must have no more than 10 pages (page 17). But, PSI RESI mention 20 pages (page 2). I would like to know which one we need to observe?
Response: Please limit the proposal narrative to 10 pages not including the Table of Contents, Executive Summary, Attachments, Detailed Budget, Budget Narrative, or NICRA. The PSI document has been amended to correct the discrepancy.
