In short
The ResearchNB Award Guidelines 2026-2027 have a Responsible Use of AI section. It says only that ResearchNB aligns with Tri-agency guidance on AI in developing and reviewing applications, and it states no rule of its own. The pages do not give the Tri-agency rules, so check that guidance directly. The Guidelines also let reviewers use Microsoft Office Translator.
Limits AI. Applicants may use AI for some tasks, and the funder restricts how much of an application AI may write.
For applicants
- ResearchNB aligns with Tri-agency guidance on the use of AI in developing research applications. The Award Guidelines give no separate ban, limit or disclosure rule, and the pages do not set out the Tri-agency rules. [1]
For reviewers
- ResearchNB aligns with Tri-agency guidance on the use of AI in reviewing research applications. The pages give no separate AI rule for reviewers. [1]
- Reviewers whose preferred official language differs from the language of submission may use the Microsoft Office Translator to support their assessment. This is a translation tool, and the page does not call it AI. [1]
