Overview
This is a specialized skill for writing research grant applications tailored to the formats of major government research funding agencies such as the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), IITP, KIAT, and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. It systematically organizes core sections such as research objectives, content, methodology, expected outcomes, and budget.
Trigger Keywords
- Research grant application, research proposal, project application
- NRF project, IITP program, KIAT research grant
- Government project, national R&D program
- Basic research, mid-career research, original technology development
- TIPS, startup growth, R&D program
Workflow
Step 1: Confirm funding agency and program
Use AskUserQuestion to have the funding agency and program type selected:
| Agency | Representative Program | Key Evaluation Factors |
|---|---|---|
| National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) | Basic research, mid-career research | Creativity, research capability, potential for results |
| IITP | ICT SW convergence original technology | Technical difficulty, commercialization potential |
| KIAT | Industrial technology innovation | Technology ripple effect, marketability |
| Ministry of SMEs and Startups | TIPS, startup growth | Innovativeness, market potential |
Step 2: Collect research overview
Collect the following information to design the application structure:
- Research topic and core technology
- Research objectives and expected outcomes
- Research team composition and participating institutions
- Research period and budget scale
- Status of prior research (link with moai-research:paper-search when prior research investigation is needed)
Step 3: Write sections by format
Write according to the funding agency's standard format:
NRF Basic Research/Mid-Career Research
- Research objectives (Year 1, entire period)
- Research content (research differentiation, research methods, implementation system)
- Expected outcomes (academic and industrial utilization plans)
- Budget request details (labor costs, research activity costs, material costs, etc.)
IITP ICT R&D
- Development objectives (technical nature, specific indicators)
- Technology status (prior technology, alternative technology, technical obstacles)
- Implementation strategy (development stages, execution system, technology verification plan)
- Utilization plan (industrial utilization, standardization, policy utilization)
KIAT Industrial Technology Innovation
- Project objectives and development content
- Participating institutions and role division
- Technology roadmap (performance indicators by milestone)
Ministry of SMEs and Startups TIPS/Startup Growth
- Technology overview (innovativeness, technical superiority)
- Market analysis (market size, competitive landscape)
- Commercialization plan (business model, revenue model)
- Budget and utilization plan
Step 4: Visualization and supplementation (optional)
- Technology roadmap/Gantt chart: linked with moai-data:data-visualizer skill
- Citing prior research: search papers with the moai-research:paper-search skill
- Self-check against evaluation criteria and suggestions for supplementing weaknesses
Step 5: Final review
For the drafted application, perform a self-check from the perspective of the evaluation criteria, identify areas needing supplementation, and provide suggestions.
Usage example
"기초연구과제 신청서를 작성해줘. 연구 주제는 '딥러닝 기반 의료 영상 진단 알고리즘'이야."
"중소벤처기업부 TIPS 과제로 신청할 제안서를 써줘. 기술은 AI 기반 이상 징후 탐지야."
"NRF 과제 신청서야. 연구 목표는 양자 암호 통신 프로토콜 개발이고, 3년 프로젝트야."
Output format
- Research grant application draft (Markdown)
- Structuring sections by form
- Self-check table against evaluation criteria
- Supplementation suggestions (optional)
Precautions
- This skill generates a draft for reference. Before final submission, you must check the relevant institution's official form and guidelines.
- Since research grant applications have different guidelines and evaluation criteria for each institution, customized writing for each funding institution is required.
- If prior research investigation is needed, it is recommended to first run the moai-research:paper-search skill to collect related papers, then write in connection with it.
- If visualization materials (roadmap, Gantt chart) are needed, you can link and use the moai-data:data-visualizer skill.
Related skills
- moai-research:paper-search - Prior research investigation and paper search
- moai-data:data-visualizer - Technology roadmap, Gantt chart visualization
- moai-business:strategy-planner - Establishing a commercialization plan (startup projects such as TIPS)
Post-processing chain (body/narrative deliverables)
After writing narrative text such as the body of a research grant application, finish with the following chain:
grant-writer → moai-core:ai-slop-reviewer → moai-content:humanize-korean
- moai-core:ai-slop-reviewer - AI pattern review and post-processing of the written application
- moai-content:humanize-korean - Korean sentence naturalization (removing AI traces, preserving meaning)
Data/table deliverables such as budget request details, technology roadmaps, and Gantt charts are not subject to this chain, and if visualization is needed, moai-data:data-visualizerroute to .
