About research-grants

research-grants
Supports research proposal preparation and review for NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA
research-grants is an agent skill for preparing and reviewing research funding proposals for NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA and Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council, NSTC. It covers opportunity-specific requirements, aims, review criteria, narrative structure, budget preparation and compliance. Grant writing persuades a reviewer that a proposal is scientifically rigorous, innovative and feasible, and that its broader impact is clear. The skill notes that each agency has its own priorities, review criteria, formatting rules and strategic goals, and it addresses each one. Use it when you are drafting a proposal for one of these funders, or reviewing a draft against the requirements of a specific call. Check each call's own announcement, since the skill's guidance is general and the requirements can change. It is part of the k-dense-ai scientific agent skills repository on GitHub, which has about 49,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 1,900 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket, with a warning from Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills --skill research-grants.
