SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps researchers convert a research idea and literature landscape into a structured, reviewer-facing grant proposal that matches the requirements of specific funding agencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agency-aligned proposal drafting: Produces grant narratives with the right section order, language, and reviewer criteria for KAKENHI, NSF, NSFC, ERC, DFG, SNSF, ARC, NWO, and generic formats.
  • Gap-first positioning: Builds a clear landscape summary and a one-sentence gap statement, then uses it to drive aims, timeline, and coherence.
  • Checkpointed, PI-confirmed workflow: Uses interactive checkpoints (pause for user confirmation) and supports state persistence/resume via GRANT_STATE.json.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to generate a proposal by running: /grant-proposal "your research direction — KAKENHI Start-up, output: markdown, language: auto".

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a grant proposal for KAKENHI or NSF?

To structure a grant proposal for KAKENHI or NSF, you need to align the section order, language, and reviewer criteria with the specific agency's template. This process involves grounding the literature, positioning the novelty gap, and designing aims and timelines to match funding agency requirements.

How do I write a literature review and novelty gap statement for research funding?

Writing a literature review and novelty gap statement requires building a clear landscape summary and a one-sentence gap statement. This gap-first positioning drives the research aims, timeline design, and overall proposal coherence for the funding application.

Can I resume drafting a funding application if the process is interrupted?

Yes, you can resume drafting a funding application using checkpointed state persistence. The workflow pauses at interactive checkpoints for user confirmation and saves progress via a GRANT_STATE.json file, allowing you to resume the proposal generation process later.

Does the grant proposal generation process support ERC and DFG formats?

Yes, the grant proposal generation process supports ERC and DFG formats, alongside NSFC, SNSF, ARC, NWO, and generic grant formats. It produces agency-aligned narratives by matching the specific section order and reviewer criteria for each funding agency.

What is the best way to ensure my research writing avoids plagiarism when referencing prior work?

The best way to ensure research writing avoids plagiarism is to use strict non-plagiarism handling for style references. This ensures the generated proposal maintains originality while grounding your research direction in the existing literature landscape.

How do I plan a research timeline for an NSF or NWO grant application?

To plan a research timeline for an NSF or NWO grant application, you must design the timeline based on a clear gap statement and specific research aims. This ensures the proposed schedule is coherent and aligns with the agency's reviewer criteria.
