Write Your Strongest Proposal Yet, In Half the Time.
ResearchGrants.ai is built for NIH and NSF grant writing. It cuts proposal time roughly in half, and structures each section around what reviewers are actually scoring for, so you spend less time on formatting and more time on the research itself.
Checklist
Every section checked against the NOFO's stated requirements before submission.
Spend less time on the process. More time on the science.
Less time writing. More time thinking.
Narrative writing is where researchers lose the most time. ResearchGrants generates drafts of your Specific Aims, Research Strategy, and Budget Justifications — all optimized for the requirements and reviewer criteria of your specific NOFO — cutting that investment roughly in half.
Structure your thinking where it matters most.
The Specific Aims section is the foundation of every successful grant, and the hardest part to get right. ResearchGrants guides you through building your aims from the ground up, helping you sharpen your hypothesis, rationale, and approach before a single word of the proposal is written.
Everything you upload, put to work.
ResearchGrants parses your NOFO, preliminary data, CV, equipment list, facilities list, and other key documents — extracting what's relevant and carrying it forward into your research strategy automatically. No more manually transferring information between documents.
New proposal. Work in progress. Prior submission. All welcome.
New Proposal.
Start from a blank page. The platform guides you from NOFO to Specific Aims to a complete, submission-ready draft.
Work in Progress.
Upload an existing draft and continue exactly where you left off, without starting the process over.
Prior Submission.
Upload a previously submitted proposal and build the next version on top of it, instead of starting from a blank page.
Incorporate Reviewer Comments.
Upload the summary statement and address each reviewer critique point by point, directly inside the proposal.
Built around how you THINK about a proposal.
Pick the Right Grant Opportunity
Search and evaluate opportunities using Grant Match and the NOFO Summary feature.
Start New or Upload an Existing Proposal
Begin from scratch, or upload a proposal already in progress, or a previously submitted proposal, and continue from there.
Start With Your Thinking
Enter the background and rationale for your research, your preliminary data, and your initial thinking on the Specific Aims. The platform provides the structure to build strong aims.
Review Your Specific Aims Draft(s)
Review, edit, and iterate on Specific Aims optimized for the NOFO, with feedback on their strengths and recommendations for improvement.
Generate Biosketches & Upload Supporting Documents
Biosketches are generated from your CV and ready for ScienCV certification. Add your bibliography, facility and equipment lists, human and/or animal protocols, PI leadership plans, contractual agreements, site lists, and other required materials.
Review the Research Strategy Draft
Built from all inputs to date, including your preliminary data and its figures, and optimized for the NOFO, ready for your review and edits.
Create the Budget, Review the Budget Justification Draft
Translate budget items into a detailed or modular budget for submission, then review the budget justification generated automatically from it.
The Checklist: Completeness, Consistency & Strength
Confirms the proposal is complete, checks for narrative consistency across sections, then analyzes and recommends improvements. A proposal dashboard shows completeness at a glance throughout.
Prepare the Submission
Complete and review the SF424, or the equivalent form for your funding opportunity, then assemble the final proposal package.
Upload Reviewer Comments and Get Recommendations
For a resubmission, upload the summary statement and get recommendations for addressing each critique point by point.
You stay the author. Always.
This isn't just about AI. ResearchGrants.ai is built around a simple principle: give researchers structure that mirrors how they actually think through a grant, and let AI accelerate that process, not replace the researcher. The platform speeds up the writing. It doesn't write the science.

- Structure, not just speed. The platform scaffolds a proposal the way you actually think it through, guiding a Specific Aims section from hypothesis to approach, rather than just generating text.
- Human-first by design. You remain the author of record on every proposal.
- Accelerates, doesn't generate. AI speeds up drafting and revision; it doesn't fabricate claims or data.
- Aligned with agency policy. Built with NIH's AI guidance (NOT-OD-25-142) and applicable NSF requirements in mind from the ground up.
- Transparent to you. Full visibility into how AI is used in every section of your proposal.
