SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing grant proposals that meet agency formats (NSF/NIH/DOE/DARPA) and capture funding priorities is time-consuming and error-prone. This Skill provides structured guidance, templates, and best practices to craft competitive applications with integrated budgets, milestone plans, and impact statements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agency-aligned templates: NSF Project Summary, NIH Specific Aims, DOE/ARPA-E proposals, and DARPA program structures.
  • Policy and criteria guidance: Summaries of NSF Broader Impacts, NIH Review Criteria, and agency-specific scoring rubrics.
  • Templates and artifacts: Ready-to-use figures, budgets, work plans, and data management plans; resubmission guidance.
  • Templates and examples across mechanisms: CAREER, R01, ARPA-E OPEN, and multi-institution collaborations.
  • Use case: A PI finalizes a 5-year NIH R01 proposal with a robust Specific Aims page and a comprehensive budget.

Quick Start

Describe your grant topic and target agency, and this Skill will generate a complete, agency-tailored proposal outline.
