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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps researchers and teams write competitive grant proposals for major agencies by turning proposal requirements—format, structure, review criteria, budget logic, and compliance—into a clear, persuasive draft you can submit with confidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agency-specific proposal guidance (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, NSTC): Aligns narrative structure and emphasis to each agency’s expectations and evaluation dimensions.
  • Section-by-section drafting support: Produces or improves key components such as abstracts/executive summaries, project descriptions/research strategies, specific aims/objectives, significance/broader impacts, innovation narratives, and approach/milestones.
  • Budget and review-criteria alignment: Improves how budget justification connects directly to aims, feasibility, cost realism, and scoring dimensions.
  • Resubmission strategy support (where applicable): Helps respond to reviewer criticisms and strengthen weak areas for re-submissions.
  • Mandatory schematic figure workflow: Enforces adding 1–2 scientific figures (via the scientific-schematics skill) such as workflow diagrams, Gantt charts, or conceptual frameworks to improve clarity and competitiveness.

Quick Start

Use the research-grants skill to draft an NSF/NIH/DOE/DARPA/NSTC proposal narrative for your project idea and include an agency-aligned budget justification and at least one research schematic figure.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an NSF or NIH grant proposal that aligns with reviewer scoring criteria?

To write an NSF or NIH grant proposal aligned with reviewer scoring criteria, structure your narrative to explicitly address significance, innovation, approach, and broader impacts while ensuring budget justification connects directly to project feasibility and evaluation dimensions.

What is the best way to structure a research narrative for DOE or DARPA funding applications?

Structuring a research narrative for DOE or DARPA applications requires aligning project descriptions, milestones, and executive summaries to agency-specific formatting constraints and review criteria, ensuring feasibility-consistent planning and technical objectives match agency expectations.

How do I write a budget justification that connects to my research aims and review criteria?

Writing a budget justification that connects to research aims requires mapping requested costs directly to specific project objectives, milestones, and feasibility constraints while demonstrating cost realism across the proposed scope of work to satisfy scoring dimensions.

Can I use this to draft a resubmission response to address prior reviewer criticisms for my grant proposal?

Yes, you can draft a resubmission response to address prior reviewer criticisms by mapping previous reviewer feedback to strengthened narrative sections, revised specific aims, and updated approach milestones to demonstrate improved feasibility and responsiveness.

Does a competitive grant proposal need scientific schematic figures included in the narrative?

A competitive grant proposal benefits from including at least 1-2 scientific schematic figures, such as workflow diagrams, Gantt charts, or conceptual frameworks, generated to improve visual clarity and align with agency formatting and page-limit constraints.

Does this support Taiwan NSTC grant proposals and their specific formatting requirements?

Yes, this supports Taiwan NSTC grant proposals by aligning research narratives, project descriptions, and budget justifications to NSTC-specific formatting constraints, review criteria, and required compliance content for standard funding mechanisms.
