What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps researchers turn a project idea into a competitive, agency-aligned grant proposal by systematically covering the narrative, structure, and review-critical elements required across NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, and Taiwan NSTC.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Agency-specific proposal engineering: Produces proposal content that matches each agency’s core expectations (e.g., NIH Specific Aims + Research Strategy; NSF Intellectual Merit + Broader Impacts; DARPA high-risk/high-reward framing; NSTC CM03 structure).
- Review-criteria alignment: Guides you to explicitly address significance, innovation, approach, feasibility, rigor/reproducibility, team capability, and budget/timeline coherence.
- Budget and broader impacts support: Helps with budget preparation logic and the required NSF NIH/DOE/DARPA narrative components (including broader impacts, resubmission strategy, and management plans).
- Required scientific visuals workflow: Enforces inclusion of 1–2 AI-generated schematics (e.g., timeline, workflow, conceptual framework) to strengthen proposal clarity and competitiveness.
Quick Start
Use the research-grants skill to draft a complete NSF/NIH/DOE/DARPA/NSTC proposal narrative by specifying your agency, grant mechanism/type, research topic, target page/section constraints, and what stage your project is at (including preliminary data availability).
