In short
The HFSP Research Grant guidelines allow generative AI only to improve the readability and language of an application. They do not allow it to create content. Applicants are asked to disclose any AI use. Reviewers are asked not to use AI tools or AI-detection programs in their assessments.
Varies by program. The rule is set in each program's guidelines, so check the one you are applying to.
For applicants
For reviewers
- Research Grant reviewers are asked to refrain from using AI tools, or programs that identify AI use, in their assessments. If a reviewer suspects AI was used to create an application, and not only to improve readability or grammar, the reviewer is asked to note this in the comments. [2]
- HFSP's confidentiality guidance also asks reviewers to refrain from using AI tools for their assessments. [3]
