SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

## What problem does it solve? Drafting grant proposals is time-consuming and requires navigating agency-specific structures, budgets, and evaluation criteria. This Skill automates turning validated research ideas and literature into a complete, reviewer-ready application.

## Core Features & Use Cases

  • Specific Aims design: Generate independently valuable aims with a claims-evidence matrix and feasibility narrative.
  • Structure & formatting automation: Produce agency-compliant sections (objectives, plan, timeline, budget narrative) and a balanced aims matrix.
  • Literature integration: Incorporate literature surveys, competitor funding landscape, and prior support where applicable.
  • Multi-agency support: Works across KAKENHI, NSF, NSFC, ERC, DFG, SNSF, ARC, NWO, and GENERIC, adapting language and format.
  • Use cases: building grant-ready drafts from a concise idea capture or refining an existing outline into a full proposal.

### Quick Start Provide your research idea and target grant type, e.g., /grant-proposal 'topic — KAKENHI Start-up' to begin drafting.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a grant proposal from a research idea for a specific funding agency?

To draft a grant proposal, provide a validated research idea and target grant type. The workflow converts your idea into a reviewer-ready application by generating an aims matrix, narrative sections, timeline, and budget narrative.

Can I generate a KAKENHI or NSF grant application with the correct sections and formatting?

Yes, you can generate an NSF or KAKENHI grant application. The workflow adapts language, sections, and formatting to agency conventions, supporting KAKENHI, NSF, NSFC, ERC, DFG, SNSF, ARC, NWO, and GENERIC formats.

How do I structure specific aims for a research proposal to ensure they are independently valuable?

Structuring specific aims involves generating independently valuable aims with a claims-evidence matrix and feasibility narrative. The workflow creates a balanced aims matrix to clarify objectives and supporting evidence for reviewers.

What do I need to start automating a grant proposal draft with literature integration?

To start automating a grant proposal draft, you need to specify your research idea and target grant type. Incorporating literature surveys and competitor funding landscapes into the input helps produce a complete, reviewer-ready application.

Does the proposal workflow handle budget narratives and timelines for research funding applications?

Yes, the proposal workflow handles budget narratives and timelines for research funding applications. It produces agency-compliant sections including objectives, research plans, timelines, and detailed budget narratives.

What is the best way to turn an existing research outline into a full grant application?

The best way to turn an existing research outline into a full grant application is refining it through the proposal workflow. It builds grant-ready drafts by structuring your outline into agency-compliant sections and a balanced aims matrix.
