Research Grant Writing

About

This skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge to draft, refine, and structure high-stakes scientific grant proposals. It streamlines the creation of specific aims, research strategies, broader impact statements, and budget justifications tailored to the unique requirements of the NSF, NIH, DOE, and DARPA. By integrating agency-specific review criteria and mandatory visual schematics, it helps researchers transform complex scientific concepts into persuasive, compliant, and well-structured funding requests that meet rigorous merit review standards.
