Rules for reviewers
American Association of University Women has published no rules for reviewers.
Where this comes from
The funder's own words, from its own pages.
American Doctoral Fellowship (AAUW AI Guidelines) (opens in a new tab)
Applicants may use generative AI tools to support and enhance the preparation of their application narratives. However, generative AI should be used as an assistive resource — not as a substitute for the applicant’s own ideas, experiences, analysis, or writing.
International Project Grants (AAUW AI Guidelines) (opens in a new tab)
Application narratives should reflect the applicant’s authentic voice and original work.
