In short
The International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) sets a policy on generative AI in Research Grant Program proposals. Generative AI tools should not be used to conceptualize a proposal. They may be used in drafting. One example is translating text when English is not the principal investigator's first language. The principal investigator must state in the application whether any AI tools were used and what that use involved.
Limits AI. Applicants may use AI for some tasks, and the funder restricts how much of an application AI may write.
For applicants
- Applicants to the Research Grant Program should not use generative AI tools to conceptualize a proposal. Drafting is the permitted use. For example, an applicant whose first language is not English may use these tools to translate text. [1]
- The principal investigator must state in the application whether any AI tools were used to prepare it. If any were used, the application must say what that use involved. [1]
For reviewers
International OCD Foundation has published no rules for reviewers.

It is the policy of the IOCDF that generative AI tools should not be used in the conceptualization of a Research Grant Program proposal, though they may have a place in drafting one (e.g.using generative AI tools to translate text if English is not the principal investigator’s first language) . The principal investigator must indicate in the application whether any AI tools were used in its preparation, and if so, what this usage entailed.
