Funder AI policy

Can applicants use AI on an application to Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)?

Yes, with disclosure.

RSNA's Research Seed Grant, Research Scholar Grant and Research Resident/Fellow Grant policies (August 2025) allow AI use but require a disclosure statement. Advise the PI to upload an AI Disclosure Statement naming the tool, version, access dates, maker and how it was used. The pages give no guidance for reviewers on AI, and they set no limit on how much AI may write.

Allowed with disclosure. The funder lets applicants use AI and requires or asks them to say where they used it.

What applicants may do

  • The pages do not ban AI or cap its use. They allow AI-assisted preparation as long as it is disclosed. [1][2][3]

What the funder asks of applicants

  • If AI or AI-assisted technologies (e.g., ChatGPT, Bard, image generators) were used in preparing the application, include a supplemental AI Disclosure Statement. It is the last item in the required uploads. [1][2][3]
  • The statement must give the name and version of each AI tool, the date(s) of access, the name of the manufacturer/creator, and a description of how the technology was used. [1][2][3]

If an applicant breaks the rule

  • Transparency in AI use is required and will be considered during review. [1][2][3]
