The grant writing grind
You became a scientist to do research, not to write proposals full-time
Weeks spent writing instead of doing research
Every hour you spend formatting a biosketch or rewriting your significance section is an hour away from the bench, the field, or your students.
Reviewer expectations are opaque
Study sections evaluate on criteria you have to intuit from experience. Early-career researchers rarely have mentors who can decode what reviewers actually want.
Resubmissions are demoralizing
A scored-but-not-funded application means months of revision for the next cycle. Many researchers abandon promising projects after a single rejection.
Formatting requirements change across agencies
NIH page limits, NSF project descriptions, DOE technical volumes — every agency has different structures, fonts, and margin rules.
Built for research proposals
NIH, NSF, DOE, DARPA — every section, every format
NIH R01, R21, K-series & fellowship support
Granted understands the structure of NIH applications from Specific Aims through Research Strategy. Upload your FOA and get section-by-section drafting tailored to your institute.
NSF CAREER, standard grants & collaborative proposals
From the project description to the data management plan, Granted coaches you through NSF-specific requirements including broader impacts and intellectual merit.
DOE, DARPA & defense research proposals
Technical volume drafting for mission-driven agencies. Granted reads your BAA or solicitation and structures your response around the stated evaluation criteria.
Real-time coverage tracking
Never wonder what you forgot. Granted maps every requirement from the solicitation and tracks your coverage as you draft each section.
