SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Drafting grant proposals can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when coordinating literature reviews, aims, timelines, and budgets across multiple agencies. This Skill streamlines the end-to-end process by turning research ideas into a structured grant proposal tailored to agency templates and language requirements. It helps researchers convert ideas into fundable plans with clear aims, narrative flow, and compliant formatting.

Core Features & Use Cases

Core features include idea gathering, gap analysis, aims design, narrative architecture, agency-specific formatting, timeline planning, and draft generation. Typical use cases: NSF CAREER for early-career researchers, KAKENHI grant writing in Japanese, NSFC proposals in Chinese, ERC proposals in English, and generic formats. The tool outputs a complete draft in Markdown (or LaTeX) with placeholders for budgets and PI-specific items.

Quick Start

Draft a grant proposal from my research idea using the NSF CAREER template.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a grant proposal from a research idea for multiple agencies?

Drafting a grant proposal from a research idea is streamlined by integrating literature reviews, gap analysis, aims-evidence matrix, timelines, and budget justification into a structured draft tailored to specific agency templates and language requirements.

Can I write an NSF CAREER or KAKENHI grant proposal in different languages?

Yes, generating grant proposals supports multiple grant types and languages, including NSF CAREER, KAKENHI in Japanese, NSFC in Chinese, and ERC in English, ensuring compliance with agency-specific formatting.

What is the best way to structure a research grant budget justification and timeline?

Structuring a research grant budget justification and timeline is handled by mapping aims to evidence and generating compliant timelines, resulting in a complete Markdown or LaTeX draft with placeholders for PI-specific items.

How to conduct a literature review and gap analysis for a grant application?

Conducting a literature review and gap analysis for a grant application involves synthesizing research ideas into an aims-evidence matrix, establishing narrative architecture to clearly identify funding gaps and justify the proposed research.

Does the proposal generation process output a review trail and optional figures?

Yes, the proposal generation process outputs a complete grant draft, a review trail, and optional figures, all organized under a dedicated directory to ensure proper formatting and compliance tracking.

What limitations exist when formatting a generic grant proposal without agency templates?

Formatting a generic grant proposal without agency templates relies on generic formats, producing a structured draft that still requires manual insertion of budget specifics and PI-specific items not automatically populated by the tool.
