SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps researchers convert a research idea and supporting context into a structured grant proposal aligned to the expectations of specific funding agencies, reducing the time and uncertainty of starting from scratch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agency-specific proposal formatting: Generates proposals for major programs (e.g., KAKENHI, NSF, NSFC, ERC, DFG) with the right section logic and review criteria.
  • Gap and positioning grounding: Performs literature/landscape positioning and builds a clear gap statement before writing.
  • Checkpointed drafting workflow: Guides you through phases with explicit user confirmation gates to keep PI judgment in control.
  • Structured outputs and state persistence: Writes progress to grant-proposal/GRANT_STATE.json so long runs can be resumed after interruption.

Quick Start

Use the grant-proposal skill to draft a KAKENHI application from your idea report by running: /grant-proposal "your research direction — KAKENHI Start-up"

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a research grant proposal for specific funding agencies?

To draft a research grant proposal, this skill generates reviewer-ready applications grounded in literature positioning and gap statements. It formats structured aims, methods, timelines, and PI narratives for agencies like KAKENHI, NSF, NSFC, and ERC.

What is the best way to write specific aims for a grant application?

Writing specific aims is best handled by establishing an explicit gap statement from literature positioning first. This skill then structures your research aims, methods, and PI qualification narratives into agency-specific section templates.

Can I generate a KAKENHI grant proposal from a research idea?

Yes, you can generate a KAKENHI grant proposal from a research idea by running the skill with your research direction. It applies agency-specific section logic and review criteria to produce a structured draft.

Does this grant writing skill support NSFC, DFG, and ERC formatting?

This grant writing skill supports NSFC, DFG, and ERC formatting across multi-agency funding applications. It applies the correct section logic and review criteria for major programs including KAKENHI, NSF, SNSF, ARC, and NWO.

How do I resume writing a grant proposal after an interruption?

To resume writing a grant proposal after an interruption, the skill persists progress to grant-proposal/GRANT_STATE.json. This safe state persistence allows long drafting runs to be resumed seamlessly.

How does literature review positioning work in grant writing?

Literature review positioning in grant writing works by grounding your research claims and building a clear gap statement before drafting. This ensures your specific aims and PI narrative address explicit research needs.
