SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create competitive, agency-aligned research grant proposals by structuring the narrative around review criteria, defining aims and feasibility, and producing compliant budgets and required sections.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agency-specific proposal structure: NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, and Taiwan NSTC formatting, required sections, and emphasis (e.g., innovation, approach, broader impacts/significance).
  • Reviewer-criterion mapping: Significance/innovation/approach (and analogous criteria) organized so each claim directly supports evaluation dimensions.
  • Budget and compliance support: Budget preparation guidance aligned to typical agency expectations and justification logic.
  • Resubmission strategy guidance: Practical handling of revisions and responses to reviewers (notably NIH/NSF patterns).
  • Mandatory scientific schematics: Ensures the proposal includes 1–2 grant-relevant diagrams (workflow, timeline/Gantt, framework) to increase clarity and competitiveness.

Quick Start

Use the research-grants skill to draft an NSF proposal narrative with a complete executive summary, specific aims, broader impacts, approach, and a compliant budget justification, including at least one scientific schematic diagram for the research workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a competitive research proposal narrative for NSF or NIH?▼

To write a competitive research proposal, structure your narrative around agency-specific review criteria like significance, innovation, and approach, ensuring each claim directly supports evaluation dimensions. This includes drafting specific aims, broader impacts, and compliant budgets.

What is the best way to map broader impacts to NSF review criteria?▼

Mapping broader impacts to NSF review criteria involves structuring your project description so each claim directly supports the evaluation dimensions. You should define aims, feasibility, and societal contributions to align with the agency's emphasis on broader impacts.

Can I use this to draft budget justifications for DOE and DARPA grants?▼

Yes, you can draft budget justifications for DOE and DARPA grants. The skill provides budget preparation guidance aligned to typical agency expectations and justification logic, ensuring your financial requests meet specific agency compliance requirements.

How do I handle a resubmission strategy for an NIH research grant?▼

Handling an NIH resubmission strategy requires practical revision of your proposal narrative and targeted responses to previous reviewer critiques. You must update your research strategy and specific aims to address the reviewers' concerns directly.

Does the proposal drafting process require scientific schematics?▼

Yes, the proposal drafting process mandates including one to two scientific schematics, such as workflow, timeline, or framework diagrams. Creating these visual schematics is enforced to increase proposal clarity and competitiveness.
