Automated Grant Feedback
Looking for complementary feedback on your next funding application?
Using Automated Feedback
To use automated grant feedback, you must:
- agree to the Data Protection, Confidentiality & Privacy policies;
- be the Principal Investigator (PI) on the application; and
- have permission to use Automated Grant Feedback (AGF) from all co-investigators.
Western is pleased to pilot automated grant feedback through an AI tool that supports grant writing by "predicting" reviewers' critiques.
Quick Facts
- The purpose of the automated grant feedback pilot is to provide an additional opportunity to preemptively identify potential weaknesses prone to decrease an application’s ranking.
- The pilot is not intended to replace or circumvent any current departmental, faculty or institutional supports or processes.
- The tool models reviewer critiques from past competitions as benchmarks for analyzing draft applications.
- Automated grant feedback is an "on-demand" tool—an optional, self-serve resource to bolster application competitiveness.
Collaboration
The automated grant feedback prototype is a unique and proprietary "made-at-成人大片" resource, built in collaboration with faculty members and research officers across campus.
Automated grant feedback is under continual development. To contribute to the project, contact James Shelley for more information about how you can help improve the tool.
