SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Drafting fundable grant proposals is time-consuming and error-prone, requiring meticulous alignment to diverse funder rubrics, budgets, and compliance requirements. This Skill streamlines the process by providing a frontmatter-driven entry and a structured guide to generate funder-aligned proposals across NSF, NIH, ERC, Horizon Europe, UKRI, and DoD/DOE programs, covering sections like Specific Aims, Project Description, Broader Impacts, and reviewer response material. It loads guidance from the SKILL.md frontmatter and optional resources (scripts/references/assets) to assemble complete proposal artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Funder-alignment engine: maps user requests to funder templates (NSF/NIH/ERC/Horizon/UKRI/DARPA/DOE) and produces aligned Aims, Significance, Innovation, Approach, and Impact sections.
  • Auxiliary document generation: automatically creates Budgets, Budget Justification, Data Management Plan, Biosketches, and reviewer-response content.
  • Reference-guided drafting: leverages standard reference files (references/) to incorporate funder-specific guidance and templates.
  • Use cases include: preparing an NIH R01, an ERC StG, a Horizon Europe project, or a UKRI EPSRC proposal with integrated budgets and DMP.

Quick Start

Provide a research description and target funder, and the tool will output a fully aligned Specific Aims and Budget draft.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft an NSF or NIH grant proposal that aligns with funder guidelines?

To draft an NSF or NIH grant proposal aligned with funder guidelines, provide your research description and target funder. The tool parses funder rubrics and generates aligned Specific Aims, Project Description, Broader Impacts, and Budget sections.

Can I generate a Data Management Plan and budget justification for a Horizon Europe proposal?

Yes, you can generate a Data Management Plan and budget justification for a Horizon Europe proposal. The tool automatically creates auxiliary documents like Budgets, DMPs, and Biosketches alongside the core proposal narrative.

What is the best way to write biosketches and reviewer responses for a UKRI EPSRC funding proposal?

The best way to write biosketches and reviewer responses for a UKRI EPSRC funding proposal is using a funder-alignment engine. It maps requests to funder templates and produces aligned documents integrated with your core research narrative.

Does this grant-writing tool support both ERC and DoD or DOE funding applications?

Yes, this grant-writing tool supports both ERC and DoD or DOE funding applications. It maps user requests to specific funder templates across NSF, NIH, ERC, Horizon Europe, UKRI, and DoD or DOE programs to produce aligned proposal sections.

How do I structure Specific Aims and Significance sections for an NIH R01 grant?

To structure Specific Aims and Significance sections for an NIH R01 grant, input your research description and target funder. The tool leverages standard reference files to output fully aligned Aims, Significance, Innovation, and Approach sections.

When do I need to provide reference files for generating a funder-aligned grant proposal?

You need to provide reference files for generating a funder-aligned grant proposal when incorporating funder-specific guidance and templates. The tool loads optional resources like scripts and references to assemble complete proposal artifacts.
