What problem does it solve? Researchers in architecture, engineering, and construction often struggle to identify the right funding scheme and to structure proposals around the criteria reviewers actually score, leading to misaligned or rejected applications. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Funder Orientation: Surveys major scheme families relevant to built-environment research, including Horizon Europe, ERC, MSCA, UKRI/EPSRC, NSF, DOE, and national agencies. - Proposal Structure Guidance: Lists standard proposal components such as work packages, risk registers, Data Management Plans, and impact sections. - Evaluation Criteria Alignment: Explains how funders score proposals (Excellence/Impact/Implementation, Intellectual Merit/Broader Impacts) so sections can be written to those headings. - Use Case: When drafting an NSF proposal on smart infrastructure, use this Skill to structure the case around Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts and to verify which directorate fits the topic. ## Quick Start Help me choose a funder and outline a proposal for my research on digital twins for construction safety.
