research-grants
Guides writing of competitive research grant proposals for NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, and Taiwan NSTC. Covers agency-specific formatting and review criteria, specific aims, project descriptions, significance and innovation narratives, broader impacts, budgets and justifications, timelines, biosketches, and the NSTC CM03 form. Use when drafting a proposal for one of these agencies. Use when writing specific aims or broader impacts statements. Use when preparing a budget justification or milestone plan. Use when responding to a solicitation, BAA, or reviewer comments in a resubmission. Use when checking a draft against page limits and submission requirements. For general manuscript writing, use a scientific writing skill instead.
