POSTPONED: Enhancing Grant Proposals: Leveraging Generative AI for Crafting the First Paragraph

Event Postponed - We look forward to rescheduling this event when members of our community can fully engage. We appreciate your understanding and support. New date TBD.

The first paragraph of a grant proposal plays an important role in engaging reviewers and setting the tone for the entire application. This presentation provides a guide on how generative AI (genAI) can be utilized to craft opening paragraphs using writing heuristics. In the workshop, we will discuss current Tri-Agency policies on the use of genAI in grant writing, emphasizing the responsibility of applicants to confirm accuracy, proper attribution, and ethical AI use. Through a practical example, we will demonstrate how researchers can use genAI as a supportive assistant to refine ideas, generate drafts, and enhance clarity while maintaining academic integrity. Participants will gain insights into refining AI-generated text and integrating visualization techniques, with the aim of making their proposals stand out in competitive grant reviews. The session concludes with key takeaways on responsible AI use in grant writing and research communication.
