Reno News & Review: Guest comment: Your nonprofit needs an AI policy—now. “Leaner nonprofits have a lot of reasons to leverage AI. Grant-writing and volunteer coordination are two areas in which I can see AI being quite helpful. The question isn’t about whether an organization is going to use AI; it’s about whether it does it with integrity and purpose. Set a policy now.”

Follow up to this…

Luckily, I also love revisions!

Neither of us knew that the grant report needed to be 500 words max, so all of the extra supporting examples I wrote about were really bogging things down 😅

Luckily, I cut out a good 350 words over half an hour and Audra was able to submit the report on time.

Yaaaaay! 🫠

Were the changes in the document that I just lost in the crash superior to the half-remembered changes I just rekeyed? I guess we'll never know! Onwards!

Just recieved reviewer comments on my proposal that include part of it is "charming" and I´m not sure if that is a compliment or not....

Using chatbots to draft proposals for major funding agencies seems to improve funding rates, but makes projects less innovative.
Is AI on track to narrow scientific exploration?

Grant proposals drafted with AI help more likely to win NIH funding

But funding proposals to US agencies also tend to be more similar to previously funded projects if they are written or edited with the help of a chatbot.

ICYMI: Interesting finding, though I'm not sure how much of the "AI-assisted" element was in the surveyed grant proposals, as I thought the NIH had banned grant proposals developed by AI..? #GrantWriting #AI #GenAI #ResearchSky #AcademicSky #NIH

Got the idea maybe 2 weeks ago - (because i had pieces in my head for a while - maybe 6 months, and a manuscript near submission) - and this is a totally new possibility - will be terrific if we can do it (a new direction and no prelim data - but that's what the grant (ostensibly at least) supports. Anyways won't be bummed if it tanks but I did enjoy the mental burst and intensity of thinking and writing it up.
We'll see

Me: I have far too many meetings and am not actually getting productive work done

Also me: setting up a consortium-based project that will mean 20 hour long meetings in the proposal phase alone. Let alone if the thing actually is granted. But if this project actually happens it would be such a cool thing...

Sigh. I shall never learn.
