Nancy.  Contact Cayuse.  They helped me once when I had a similar problem with an NSF proposal.  We didn't get it in in time, but they backed me up and we got NSF to accept it a day or 2 later.

Have a wonderful day!

Subject: [RESADM-L] ONR Young Investigator proposal rejected

We submitted a Young Investigator proposal to ONR yesterday and received this message in response.

"This automated e-mail is being sent in response to your attempt to submit a PRE-APPLICATION for Federal Assistance in response to an announcement issued by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). ONR does not currently utilize Grants.gov for the receipt of pre-application/white paper submissions, therefore your PRE-APPLICATION is REJECTED. If the announcement to which you are responding calls for white papers, please see the announcement for pre-application/whitepaper submission instructions."

We submitted a full proposal via Grants.gov through Cayuse per the instructions in the FOA. The deadline is 4:00 EST today.
Has anyone else experienced problems with this program?
Neither Cayuse nor grants.gov detected errors.
We've had no luck reaching the contacts listed in the FOA.
