Grant writing prompt builder
A grant application is judged against a rubric, not read for pleasure. Reviewers score it section by section against published criteria, often in minutes. This builder turns your project details and the funder’s criteria into a structured LLM prompt that writes to the rubric — leading with impact, mapping every section to a scoring dimension, and flagging where you still need real numbers. You bring the prompt to your own model and refine the draft it produces.
How it works
You select the funder type and grant size, summarize the project, list the evaluation criteria, and name the required sections plus a target word count. The tool assembles a prompt with a clear role (“expert grant writer”), the funder context, an instruction to organize the narrative around the scoring criteria, and explicit guardrails — no fabricated statistics, placeholders for missing figures, and tone matched to the funder. Everything runs locally; nothing is sent anywhere until you paste the prompt into your chosen LLM.
Tips and examples
- Paste the real call text. If you have the funder’s call for proposals, drop its criteria in verbatim — the closer the prompt mirrors the rubric, the higher the draft scores.
- Keep the project summary concrete. “Reduce ER readmissions for diabetic patients in two clinics” beats “improve healthcare outcomes.”
- Name every required section. Funders reject applications that skip a mandatory section; listing them ensures the prompt covers each one.
- Fill placeholders before submitting. The draft marks where numbers go; never submit with the model’s guesses in place of your data.
