American Society of Nephrology AI policy
Varies by programChecked November 9, 2026
In short
The Ben J. Lipps Research Fellowship AI policy lets applicants use tools like ChatGPT to help write, but they must take responsibility for the content. AI-generated images are discouraged and not allowed without a clear description of the tool, and AI used in formal research design or methods should be cited.
For applicants
- For the Lipps Research Fellowship, AI-generated images are discouraged unless part of formal research design or methods, and are not permitted without a clear description of the content and the model or tool name, version, and manufacturer.[1]
- Applicants who use LLM or AI tools such as ChatGPT to create content or help with writing or application preparation must take responsibility for the integrity of that content.[1]
- Applicants should report AI used to create content or assist with writing in the Citations section if the tools are part of formal research design or methods.[1]
