SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Grants planning is a complex, high-stakes process requiring agency-specific structures, budgets, and compliance. This guide helps researchers produce cohesive, compliant proposals that align with NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, and NSTC review criteria, reducing time to draft and increasing win probability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agency-specific templates: Project Summaries for NSF, Specific Aims for NIH, DOE narratives, and DARPA technical volumes.
  • Budgeting & compliance: Detailed cost breakdowns, indirect costs, and cost-sharing considerations tailored to each agency.
  • Resubmission guidance: Structured approaches to respond to reviewer feedback and strengthen revised proposals.
  • Broader Impacts planning: Concrete, measurable activities that satisfy NSF Broader Impacts requirements and align with mission priorities.
  • Templates and checklists: Ready-to-use components and editor-ready language for fast assembly.

Use Case: A PI at a teaching-focused institution drafts a five-year NSF proposal, integrates a broader impacts plan with a teaching program, and secures internal approvals in weeks rather than months.

Quick Start

Provide your target agency, grant type, and research domain to generate a tailored, submission-ready proposal outline with templates and checklists.
