Use when writing a research funding proposal: establishing current policy or authority, organizing evidence, mapping arguments, planning proposal-specific technical routes and figures, preparing section briefs, reviewing, or validating an application to NSFC or to a provincial fund, including Guangdong. Other funders remain supported through the generic workflow. Includes permitted local figure construction without another skill. Check current funder and institutional authoring policy before…

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 Funding Proposals

Build a current, evidence-linked scientific argument around applicant-authored material.
Historical applications and templates may inform non-expressive structure, but they are
never current format authority and must not be copied into a public or applicant package.

The primary scope is NSFC and provincial funds. Guangdong is the bundled provincial
example, not a rule set for every province. Other provinces use custom adaptation through the existing `--program other`
option; there is no `--program custom` option or built-in preset for every province.
Identify the actual province, funder, year, and project type, then use that program's
current official guides, attachments, system template, and institutional requirements.
Do not inherit Guangdong or NSFC eligibility, budgets, deadlines, codes, section formats,
or AI-authoring permissions. Other funders remain supported through the generic workflow; the skill name stays `writing-funding-proposals`.

## Start with policy and authority

Before substantive work, identify the target year, funder, program, project type,
institutional instructions, current official sources, actual system template,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gxcaesar/open-research-skills/writing-funding-proposals@sha256:a01c98fab3d749fa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.b487f4a, 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.
