Supports research proposal preparation and review for NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, and Taiwan NSTC, including opportunity-specific requirements, aims, review criteria, budgets, broader impacts, forms, and resubmissions. Use for investigator-authored grant development, compliance matrices, and proposal critiques.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Research Grant Writing ## Overview 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. **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. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: - Writing research proposals for NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, or NSTC programs - Preparing project descriptions, specific aims, or technical narratives - Developing broader impacts or significance statements - Creating research timelines and milestone plans - Preparing budget justifications and personnel allocation plans …

How to install
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/research-grants@sha256:3ca7ea8075bbe800The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
