“We don’t restrict applicants from using artificial intelligence (AI) to assist in the writing of grant applications, including proposal development, grammar improvement, plain language use, and draft review. It’s your responsibility to ensure your application is factually accurate, clearly written, and proposes an achievable project that adheres to our funding guidelines.”
“We require you to acknowledge you have used AI for writing or editing your grant application. This enables us to track how often and in what ways you rely on AI as a grant application tool. This information regarding AI use in grant writing is not considered during the grant review process and will not affect how your application is scored.”
