In short
The AI Use Policy on the Early Career Training Grant Pilot Program and Transition to Independence Grants pages allows AI tools such as ChatGPT. Applicants must take responsibility for the content and report AI use in the Citations section, with details of the tool. The pages give no guidance for reviewers.
Requires disclosure. Applicants may use AI and must say where they used it.
For applicants
- AI and LLM tools such as ChatGPT may be used to create content or assist with writing or application preparation. Applicants must take responsibility for the integrity of the content these tools generate. [1][2]
- Applicants should report AI use in the Citations section when the tools are used to create content or assist with writing or editing. The policy ties this to use as part of formal research design or methods. [1][2]
- Each citation should give a description of the content created or edited, the name of the model or tool, version and extension numbers, manufacturer, date(s) of use, and confirmation that the authors take responsibility for the integrity of the content. [1][2]
- Basic tools for checking grammar, spelling, and references are excluded from this reporting. [1][2]
- Images created by AI are discouraged unless part of formal research design or methods. They are not permitted without a clear description of the content and the name of the model or tool, version and extension numbers, and manufacturer. [1][2]
