The premise
NIH 2024-25 guidance permits AI-assisted writing but bans AI in peer review. Reviewers see hundreds of aim pages and can spot LLM cadence in 3 lines. Your draft must read as yours.
What AI does well here
- Outline the aim page from your verbal pitch.
- Tighten preliminary data paragraphs that always run long.
- Suggest stronger verb choices ('we will determine' not 'we will look at').
- Pressure-test your hypothesis for unfalsifiability.
What AI cannot do
- Generate novel scientific hypotheses worth funding.
- Know what your study section currently rewards.
- Replace your mentor's red pen on the science.
