Diane,
Are they making this up as they go along?

What about starting the titles with "Collaborative research:" as NSF
requires...and each proposal carry the same title.
Include details of the collaboration in the narrative. As you mentioned,
it's a good idea to send an email to the program
officer after submission giving the numbers assigned to each proposal.

Then finish with what we all do after a Grants.gov submssion, cross your
fingers and pray.
