1	# Research Grant Writing
2
3	## Overview
4
5	Research grant writing is the process of developing competitive funding proposals for federal agencies and foundations. Master agency-specific requirements, review criteria, narrative structure, budget preparation, and compliance for NSF (National Science Foundation), NIH (National Institutes of Health), DOE (Department of Energy), DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), and Taiwan's NSTC (National Science and Technology Council) submissions.
6
7	Critical Principle: Grants are persuasive documents that must simultaneously demonstrate scientific rigor, innovation, feasibility, and broader impact. Each agency has distinct priorities, review criteria, formatting requirements, and strategic goals that must be addressed.
8
9	## When to Use This Skill
10
11	This skill should be used when:
12	- Writing research proposals for NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, or NSTC programs
13	- Preparing project descriptions, specific aims, or technical narratives
14	- Developing broader impacts or significance statements
15	- Creating research timelines and milestone plans
16	- Preparing budget justifications and personnel allocation plans
17	- Responding to program solicitations or funding announcements
18	- Addressing reviewer comments in resubmissions
19	- Planning multi-institutional collaborative proposals
20	- Writing preliminary data or feasibility sections
21	- Preparing biosketches, CVs, or facilities descriptions
22
23	## Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics
24
25	⚠️ MANDATORY: Every research grant proposal MUST include at least 1-2 AI-generated figures using the scientific-schematics skill.
26
27	This is not optional. Grant proposals without visual elements are incomplete and less competitive. Before finalizing any document:
28	1. Generate at minimum ONE schematic or diagram (e.g., project timeline, methodology flowchart, or conceptual framework)
29	2. Prefer 2-3 figures for comprehensive proposals (research workflow, Gantt chart, preliminary data visualization)
30
31	How to generate figures:
32	- Use the scientific-schematics skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
33	- Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
34	- Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic
35
36	How to generate schematics:
37	```bash
38	python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png
39	```
40
41	The AI will automatically:
42	- Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
43	- Review and refine through multiple iterations
44	- Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
45	- Save outputs in the figures/ directory
46
47	When to add schematics:
48	- Research methodology and workflow diagrams
49	- Project timeline Gantt charts
50	- Conceptual framework illustrations
51	- System architecture diagrams (for technical proposals)
52	- Experimental design flowcharts
53	- Broader impacts activity diagrams
54	- Collaboration network diagrams
55	- Any complex concept that benefits from visualization
56
57	For detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation.

61	## Agency-Specific Overview
62
63	### NSF (National Science Foundation)
64	Mission: Promote the progress of science and advance national health, prosperity, and welfare
65
66	Key Features:
67	- Intellectual Merit + Broader Impacts (equally weighted)
68	- 15-page project description limit (most programs)
69	- Emphasis on education, diversity, and societal benefit
70	- Collaborative research encouraged
71	- Open data and open science emphasis
72	- Merit review process with panel + ad hoc reviewers
73
74	### NIH (National Institutes of Health)
75	Mission: Enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability
76
77	Key Features:
78	- Specific Aims (1 page) + Research Strategy (12 pages for R01)
79	- Significance, Innovation, Approach as core review criteria
80	- Preliminary data typically required for R01s
81	- Emphasis on rigor, reproducibility, and clinical relevance
82	- Modular budgets ($250K increments) for most R01s
83	- Multiple resubmission opportunities
84
85	### DOE (Department of Energy)
86	Mission: Ensure America's security and prosperity through energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges
87
88	Key Features:
89	- Focus on energy, climate, computational science, basic energy sciences
90	- Often requires cost sharing or industry partnerships
91	- Emphasis on national laboratory collaboration
92	- Strong computational and experimental integration
93	- Energy innovation and commercialization pathways
94	- Varies by office (ARPA-E, Office of Science, EERE, etc.)
95
96	### DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency)
97	Mission: Make pivotal investments
