SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Drafting grant proposals can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when coordinating literature reviews, aims, timelines, and budgets across multiple agencies. This Skill streamlines the end-to-end process by turning research ideas into a structured grant proposal tailored to agency templates and language requirements. It helps researchers convert ideas into fundable plans with clear aims, narrative flow, and compliant formatting.

Core Features & Use Cases

Core features include idea gathering, gap analysis, aims design, narrative architecture, agency-specific formatting, timeline planning, and draft generation. Typical use cases: NSF CAREER for early-career researchers, KAKENHI grant writing in Japanese, NSFC proposals in Chinese, ERC proposals in English, and generic formats. The tool outputs a complete draft in Markdown (or LaTeX) with placeholders for budgets and PI-specific items.

Quick Start

Draft a grant proposal from my research idea using the NSF CAREER template.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a grant proposal from a research idea for multiple agencies?▼

Drafting a grant proposal from a research idea is streamlined by integrating literature reviews, gap analysis, aims-evidence matrix, timelines, and budget justification into a structured draft tailored to specific agency templates and language requirements.

Can I write an NSF CAREER or KAKENHI grant proposal in different languages?▼

Yes, generating grant proposals supports multiple grant types and languages, including NSF CAREER, KAKENHI in Japanese, NSFC in Chinese, and ERC in English, ensuring compliance with agency-specific formatting.

What is the best way to structure a research grant budget justification and timeline?▼

Structuring a research grant budget justification and timeline is handled by mapping aims to evidence and generating compliant timelines, resulting in a complete Markdown or LaTeX draft with placeholders for PI-specific items.

How to conduct a literature review and gap analysis for a grant application?▼

Conducting a literature review and gap analysis for a grant application involves synthesizing research ideas into an aims-evidence matrix, establishing narrative architecture to clearly identify funding gaps and justify the proposed research.

Does the proposal generation process output a review trail and optional figures?▼

Yes, the proposal generation process outputs a complete grant draft, a review trail, and optional figures, all organized under a dedicated directory to ensure proper formatting and compliance tracking.

What limitations exist when formatting a generic grant proposal without agency templates?▼

Formatting a generic grant proposal without agency templates relies on generic formats, producing a structured draft that still requires manual insertion of budget specifics and PI-specific items not automatically populated by the tool.
