Allowed with limits. The funder lets applicants use AI for some tasks and restricts how much of an application it may write.
What applicants may do
What the funder asks of applicants
- The applicant is fully responsible for checking AI-generated content for accuracy, integrity and potential bias. The applicant must also make sure it does not violate others' intellectual property rights. [1][3]
- Before using an AI tool, confirm that the tool does not gain ownership of the output. [1][3]
- Track AI use during proposal development: the tools used, their purpose, and how content was reviewed. Be ready to communicate this use if asked. The pages do not require a disclosure statement in the application itself. [1][3]
- If AI is used to generate illustrations or figures, describe that use in the caption. [1][3]

Where this comes from
The funder's own words, from its own pages.
2027 AstraZeneca ASGE Research Awards (opens in a new tab)
The transparent and purposeful use of AI (artificial intelligence) in the development of the proposal is allowed with limitations as detailed below.
Prior to use of an AI tool, the applicant should confirm that use of the AI tool does not grant the tool ownership of the output.
The applicant is fully responsible for reviewing AI-generated content for its accuracy, integrity, and potential bias and for ensuring that this content does not violate others' intellectual property rights.
If AI is used to generate illustrations or figures, its use should be described in the caption.
We discourage the use of AI for identification and/or formatting of references due to the known potential for inaccurate (hallucinated) references.
AI Scholars Program Application (opens in a new tab)
AI writing tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) may edit, brainstorm, or proofread, but they must not generate the substance of your responses.
AstraZeneca ASGE Research Grant (opens in a new tab)
Since disclosure of the use of AI is a common publishing requirement, applicants should track their use of AI in the proposal development (i.e. the specific AI tools used, their purpose, how content was reviewed) and be prepared to communicate its use if asked.
