Research Funding and Grants Guide: Artificial Intelligence & Grant Writing

Readers preparing or reviewing grant applications come away knowing the concrete AI rules of major funders, including the NIH prohibition on using generative AI in peer review and the NSF expectation that proposers disclose how generative AI was used in developing a proposal. The page prompts them to check funder and publisher policies before using AI tools and to reach out to funders when their intended use is unclear. Its highlighted practical resources, an OVPR webinar and a Google Drive folder of grant writing materials, require a University of Michigan login, so readers elsewhere are limited to the policy guidance and the GAIA committee report reference.
