In short
The Misophonia Research Fund (MRF) allows large language models to help with writing proposals. It says critical thinking, review, and analysis must be done without AI. Applicants must disclose any AI use and describe how it was used. Disclosure will not hurt the review of a proposal. A proposal that the MRF finds used AI without disclosure is subject to withdrawal.
Requires disclosure. Applicants may use AI and must say where they used it.
For applicants
- The MRF permits large language models (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot) in developing research proposals. It holds that they should only assist with writing. Critical thinking, review, and analysis must be done without AI. [1]
- Applicants must disclose that they used AI and describe how it was used. [1]
- Disclosure will not negatively affect the review of the proposal. If the MRF determines that AI was used without disclosure, the proposal is subject to withdrawal. [1]
For reviewers
Misophonia Research Fund has published no rules for reviewers.

While the MRF permits usage of Large Language Models (LLMs; e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot) in the development of research proposals, we believe that these tools should be used simply to assist in proposal writing and that critical thinking, review, and analysis must be done without the use of AI. Applicants must disclose the use of AI and describe the way in which AI was used
This disclosure will not negatively impact the review of the proposal. If the MRF determines that AI was used in a proposal without disclosure, the proposal will be subject to withdrawal.
