SUMMARY

What it does

This Agent Skill provides procedural guidance for writing competitive research grant proposals targeting US federal agencies (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA) and Taiwan's NSTC. It covers agency-specific formatting, review criteria, budget preparation, broader impacts, significance statements, innovation narratives, and compliance with submission requirements. The skill includes reference files for each agency, templates for common sections, and a phased workflow from planning to submission. It is designed for use in Agent Skills-compatible hosts and requires no network for core guidance; optional figure generation via the scientific-schematics skill requires an OPENROUTER_API_KEY and outbound API access. The skill is part of the Scientific Agent Skills library by K-Dense and is licensed under MIT.
