Can it help with the NIH Specific Aims page?

Absolutely. It follows standard NIH formatting to create a compelling one-page summary focusing on significance, innovation, and testable hypotheses.

How does it handle NSF Broader Impacts?

It provides specific frameworks for addressing societal benefits, educational outreach, and broadening participation, as required by NSF merit review criteria.

Is the content compliant with agency page limits?

While the AI assists with drafting, it is designed to respect standard limits like the 15-page NSF description or 12-page NIH strategy, helping you stay concise and relevant.

Does it generate visual elements for the grants?

Yes. It features a mandatory integration with the scientific-schematics skill to generate publication-quality figures, flowcharts, and Gantt charts for your proposal.

Which funding agencies does this skill support?

The skill is pre-configured with templates and review criteria for the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Energy (DOE), and DARPA.
