AI For Grant Writing: Scoring using AI
HOW TO: Use AI to improve your grant writing by scoring your grant against the rubric and provide suggested improvements It is easy to get bogged down in a complicated grant narrative And forget to compare what you have written directly the rubric To ensure it address the exact points that the reviewers want to see But it is possible to use AI to speed up this process without losing your unique voice and skill as a grant writer. Here's the process I follow: - First, I give AI some initial instructions and context. "You will act as an expert grant reviewer and the goal of this conversation is to improve the grant based on the scoring rubric." - Second, I give it the current draft of my grant narrative. - Third, I copy and paste the scoring rubric. This is key so the AI knows exactly what standards it’s trying to meet. The real power happens when AI scores the draft based on the rubric - It points out where you're doing great - And where there’s room for improvement Lastly, ask the the AI to rewrite the section of the grant with the improvements it identified The most important part of the process is reviewing its suggestions and tweaking them with your expertise. At the end of the day, it’s all about combining AI’s efficiency with human oversight to create a stronger grant narrative. Curious to see how it works?
