SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turning validated research ideas into a reviewer-ready funding application requires agency-specific structure, language, and review criteria that are tedious to assemble manually. This Skill automates the full grant-writing pipeline from literature positioning to external review and revision.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Agency Templates: Supports KAKENHI (Japan), NSF (US), NSFC (China, including 面上/青年/优青/杰青/海外优青/重点), ERC (EU), DFG, SNSF, ARC, NWO, and generic formats with agency-specific sections, languages, and cultural norms.
  • Structured Pipeline: Chains literature survey, novelty verification, aims design with claims-evidence matrix, section drafting, GPT-based panel review, and revision rounds into one workflow with state persistence for interrupted sessions.
  • Use Case: After running idea discovery on a research direction, invoke the skill with a topic and grant type (e.g., KAKENHI Start-up) to produce a complete GRANT_PROPOSAL.md with gap statement, specific aims, timeline, and reviewer feedback, leaving only PI-specific details and budget amounts as placeholders.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to write a KAKENHI Start-up grant proposal based on your validated research idea, and confirm each checkpoint as the draft progresses.

Frequently Asked Questions about aris-grant-proposal

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a grant proposal from a research idea with AI?▼

Invoke the skill with your research direction and grant type, such as a topic followed by KAKENHI or NSF. It runs literature survey, novelty verification, aims design, section drafting, and external review, producing a complete GRANT_PROPOSAL.md with checkpoints for your confirmation.

What grant agencies does this proposal writing skill support?▼

It supports KAKENHI (Japan), NSF (US), NSFC (China including General, Youth, Excellent Young Scientists, Distinguished, Overseas, and Key programs), ERC (EU), DFG (Germany), SNSF (Switzerland), ARC (Australia), NWO (Netherlands), and a generic format where you supply sections and criteria.

Can I write an NSFC or KAKENHI proposal in Chinese or Japanese?▼

Yes, output language is auto-detected from the grant type: Japanese for KAKENHI, Chinese for NSFC, and English for NSF, ERC, and others. You can override the language explicitly in the invocation arguments.

Does the grant proposal skill fabricate budget numbers or publications?▼

No, it never fabricates budget amounts or PI credentials. Budget figures are left as [AMOUNT] placeholders and missing publication lists become [TODO: Add publications] markers for you to fill in.

What happens if my grant drafting session gets interrupted?▼

The skill writes GRANT_STATE.json after every phase. On the next invocation within 24 hours, it resumes from the saved phase by reloading the proposal draft and review files; older state is treated as stale and starts fresh.

What are the limitations of automated grant proposal drafting?▼

External review requires Codex MCP with an OpenAI API key; without it, review is skipped. The skill also depends on prior idea validation and literature context, and PI-specific information like track record must always be supplied manually.
