In short
The NASS Research Funding Program General Guidelines on the funding page allow AI in a letter of proposal or application but require applicants to disclose the program used at the time of submission. Projects that use AI in study design methodologies must have an AI/data scientist subject-matter expert as a collaborator. The pages give no guidance for peer reviewers on AI.
Requires disclosure. Applicants may use AI and must say where they used it.
For applicants
- If AI is used to prepare a letter of proposal or application, you must disclose the program used at the time of submission. [1]
- If a project uses AI in study design methodologies, an AI/data scientist subject-matter expert is required as a collaborator. A letter of support from this expert will be requested if you are invited for full application. [1]
For reviewers
North American Spine Society has published no rules for reviewers.
