In short
The Clio Fellowship for Archival Research and the Robert and Ina Caro Travel / Research Fellowship pages say the same thing. Applicants may use tools such as AI for research, but the concept and writing must originate from the applicant. The pages give no disclosure rule and no guidance for reviewers or judges on AI.
Limits AI. Applicants may use AI for some tasks, and the funder restricts how much of an application AI may write.
For applicants
- Applicants must be the creative source of the work they submit. This is stated for both the Clio Fellowship and the Caro Fellowship. [1][2]
