In short
The pages state an AI rule for one program only, the NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellowship (GLF 2027 Application FAQs). Applicants may use generative AI to brainstorm or organize ideas but must not copy and paste from AI apps into responses. The pages give no guidance for reviewers and no funder-wide rule.
Varies by program. The rule is set in each program's guidelines, so check the one you are applying to.
For applicants
- For the Global Learning Fellowship, generative AI apps may be used for brainstorming or organizing ideas. Do not copy and paste directly from apps like ChatGPT into application responses. [1]
- If the Foundation believes responses were pasted directly from a generative AI app, it may ask the applicant to resubmit them. The pages state no disclosure requirement. [1]
For reviewers
NEA Foundation has published no rules for reviewers.
