SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

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).

Frequently Asked Questions about research-grants

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an NSF proposal that addresses Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts?

To write an NSF proposal, structure your Project Summary and Description to explicitly address Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts alongside review criteria like feasibility and rigor. This Skill generates agency-aligned narratives satisfying NSF-specific formatting requirements.

What is the best way to draft NIH R01 Specific Aims and Research Strategy?

Drafting NIH R01 Specific Aims requires aligning significance, innovation, and approach within strict page limits. This Skill structures competitive R01 narratives, incorporating rigor and reproducibility expectations to meet NIH review criteria.

Can I generate a research proposal for DARPA high-risk high-reward framing?

Yes, you can generate a DARPA proposal by specifying your research topic and grant mechanism. This Skill structures executive summaries and project descriptions using high-risk framing while ensuring team qualifications and budget justification meet agency expectations.

How do I prepare budget justification and scientific schematics for a grant proposal?

Prepare budget justification by aligning requested funds with your timeline and research approach, and include 1-2 scientific schematics like workflow diagrams. This Skill enforces mandatory visual guidance inclusion to strengthen proposal competitiveness.

Does this research proposal drafting approach support Taiwan NSTC submissions?

Yes, this approach supports Taiwan NSTC submissions by generating proposal narratives following the CM03 structure. Specify NSTC as your agency to receive content matching its specific formatting and review criteria.
