About this use case

A strong proposal shows reviewers three things: the gap is real, your approach can close it, and you know the existing evidence. Much of that work is literature work, which is where AI helps most: mapping what is already known, identifying gaps and assembling evidence for your rationale.

This hub collects SciSpace Academy's tutorials on research proposals and grant writing, from finding research gaps and novelty to the evidence work behind a stronger proposal, with tutorials in English, Portuguese, Thai, Indonesian, Spanish, Turkish and Chinese. It also covers what grant reviewers notice when AI is used carelessly.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use AI to write a grant proposal?

You can use AI to research the field, structure sections and improve clarity, but funders expect the ideas, plans and commitments to be yours. Some funders restrict or require disclosure of AI use, so read the call guidance first and verify every statement and reference.

How do I find a research gap for my proposal?

Map recent studies on your question, compare their populations, methods and findings, and look for contradictions, untested settings or limitations the authors themselves report. A comparison table of key papers makes gaps easier to see and to justify to reviewers.
