The premise
Funder reports take time disproportionate to their value; AI handles drafts so researchers focus on research.
What AI does well here
- Generate narrative reports from research-tracking systems and publications
- Tailor reports to specific funder requirements and language preferences
- Surface metrics funders care about (publications, students trained, broader impact)
- Maintain researcher review for substantive accuracy
What AI cannot do
- Substitute for the funder relationship
- Replace the actual research outputs being reported
- Generate accurate reports from incomplete underlying data
