Funder AI policy

Can applicants use AI on an application to American Psychology-Law Society?

It depends on the program.

The AI rule appears only for the AP-LS Grants-in-Aid for Graduate Students (stated on the program page and on the awards site). Using AI tools to generate the written proposal counts as plagiarism, so tell students to write the proposal themselves and to ask the committee chair if unsure about a tool. The pages give no AI rule for the Early Career Professionals grants or the REID grants, and no guidance for reviewers on AI.

Depends on the program. The funder sets the rule in each program's guidelines, so check the program a PI is applying to.

What the funder asks of applicants

  • The proposal must reflect the applicant's own work and thinking. [1][2]
  • If unsure whether a tool complies with the grant's AI policy, the applicant should contact the committee chair. [1][2]

What is off limits

  • Graduate student applicants may not use AI tools to generate the written grant proposal. The funder treats this as plagiarism. [1][2]

If an applicant breaks the rule

  • The funder says AI-generated proposal text will be considered plagiarism. The pages do not state a specific penalty. [1][2]
