    I am using AI in a limit capacity but I found this great article that I like to share with my faculty & postdocs.  I can't stop them from using AI but I can provide smart guide rails.  I hope you find this resource useful.

    Hello Robin,

    Fancy meeting you here...

    Thanks for sharing this! I ended up reading the article in the middle of the night-and yes, I zoomed in on the illustration like it was going to reveal the secret to making proposal narratives reviewer-ready on the first try. (... it came closer than most things at 2 a.m.). The prompt library it points to is priceless for RAs that truly want to help their PIs write more concise, clear, and competitive proposals. Wanna do a workshop together on this? Call me!

    If you haven't read it yet, the article is full of solid, practical advice-especially for those of us advising faculty who are curious (or skeptical) about using tools like ChatGPT in proposal development. It's not just for writers; it's for the people behind the scenes, us, helping shape strategy, clarity, and compliance.

    Here's the link again for anyone who missed it:

    Drop your thoughts! I promise not to let an AI summarize them for me (unless it's behind a secure VPN and fully vetted by Sponsored Programs 😉).

    Hoping your week is productive-with just the right amount of AI-assistance!

    Thanks for sharing this article with the community. We are using AI to explore ways to streamline how we identify research on campus related to broad topics. We have 8 "research priority areas" -- traditionally we use keyword analysis and then manually vet the awards by a subject matter expert to ensure we have the correct projects. We are attempting to use AI to do this process for us and see how well it matches up our funded research. Still in the learning stages, but if it works, it will be a use-case that can be replicated.

    Thank you, Robin, for sharing that timely article-especially in light of today's NIH's new NOT‑OD‑25‑132 notice limiting PIs to six submissions per calendar year in response to surges in application volume, some of which are suspected AI‑generated.

    Baron, I'm eager to hear more about your practical experiences leveraging AI for research development!

    Traditionally, university research‑development offices rely on keyword‑based searches for funding and collaborations, yet staff often lack the nuanced understanding of each investigator's work, and faculty default to their usual sponsor and collaborator networks. AI offers a solution by providing truly personalized funding and collaborator recommendations-aligned with an investigator's unique expertise, publication record, and funding history. I look forward to hearing how other institutions using AI for research development!
