1. What is one thing AI does particularly well when helping with a grant resubmission?

   1. Predicting whether the resubmission will be funded
   2. Synthesizing reviewer feedback into themed response categories
   3. Contacting program officers to advocate for the proposal
   4. Writing entirely new substantive sections of the proposal

2. Which of the following is explicitly listed as an INPUT for the AI tool described in this lesson?

   1. The research team's publication history
   2. Letters of support from collaborators
   3. The institutional budget template
   4. The original proposal and all reviewer comments

3. Which of these is identified as a capability of AI in the grant resubmission process?

   1. Deciding whether to accept or decline funding if awarded
   2. Identifying systematic weaknesses that appear across multiple reviews
   3. Determining exactly which reviewer comments can be safely ignored
   4. Negotiating budget changes with the funder directly

   1. Identifying thematic weaknesses
   2. Drafting response-to-reviewer text
   3. Substantive rewriting based on the feedback
   4. Synthesizing feedback patterns

5. According to the conceptual framework presented, who maintains ultimate judgment on which reviewer feedback to prioritize?

   1. The grant administrator
   2. The Principal Investigator (PI)
   3. The program officer
   4. The AI system

6. Which of the following would be considered a 'systematic weakness' in reviewer feedback?

   1. One reviewer mentioning a typo in the references
   2. A reviewer suggesting the PI add a co-investigator
   3. Three out of four reviewers all flagging concerns about the methodology section
   4. One comment about the font formatting

7. The AI tool described is designed to produce which of the following outputs?

   1. A draft of response-to-reviewer sections in funder format
   2. The final revised proposal ready for submission
   3. An email to send to all reviewers
   4. A prediction score for funding success

8. Why might a researcher use AI to help prepare for a conversation with a program officer?

   1. To write the program officer's portion of the conversation
   2. To automatically schedule the meeting
   3. To identify which reviewer concerns are most critical to address
   4. To generate questions the program officer will likely ask

9. What is NOT something AI can do in the grant resubmission process according to this lesson?

   1. Predict the likelihood of resubmission success
   2. Draft response-to-reviewer sections
   3. Synthesize feedback into themes
   4. Identify systematic weaknesses

10. What type of grant applications, according to the premise, typically require resubmission?

    1. Most grants require multiple attempts before funding
    2. Grants rarely need resubmission
    3. Only government grants need resubmission
    4. Only private foundation grants require resubmission

11. What does the lesson identify as an essential activity that AI supports but cannot replace in resubmission?

    1. Reading the original proposal
    2. Having conversations with mentors and program officers
    3. Organizing reviewer comments into a list
    4. Formatting the bibliography

12. A researcher receives their grant score and decides to resubmit. According to the framework, what should they NOT expect AI to provide?

    1. A timeline for the resubmission cycle
    2. A draft response to reviewers
    3. A prediction of whether the resubmission will be funded
    4. An analysis of systematic weaknesses

13. What is the primary value of using AI to draft response-to-reviewer sections?

    1. It guarantees the reviewers will accept the response
    2. It automatically submits the response to the funder
    3. It eliminates the need for any human review of the draft
    4. It can match the specific format required by the funder

14. In the context of grant resubmission, what does 'iteration' mean?

    1. Going through multiple cycles of feedback, revision, and resubmission
    2. Hiring a new researcher to continue the project
    3. Submitting the same proposal to different funders
    4. Copying sections from one grant into another

15. The lesson describes 'substantive revision priorities' as an AI output. What makes a revision 'substantive' rather than superficial?

    1. It adds more citations to the bibliography
    2. It corrects grammatical errors in the text
    3. It changes the font and margins to meet formatting requirements
    4. It addresses fundamental weaknesses in the proposal's approach or design
