nsfc_general_skill

Overview

This skill helps researchers draft high-quality National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC) proposals, including General, Young Scientist, and other project types. It supports the full proposal structure—title, abstract, background, research content, technical route, feasibility, schedule, team description, and references—tailored to NSFC expectations and review criteria. The output emphasizes clarity, academic tone, and concrete innovation and feasibility evidence.

How this skill works

The skill collects core project information through a short guided dialog: project title, field, core scientific question, methods, 2–3 key innovations, and project type, plus optional details like prior work and team composition. It then generates each required section to specified word-count ranges, using academic style, logical structure, and data-supported arguments. Iterative refinements are supported to align phrasing, emphasis, and technical detail with applicant needs.

When to use it

• Preparing a new NSFC application (General, Young, Regional, or Key projects).
• Transforming research ideas and preliminary results into a full proposal draft.
• Improving clarity and reviewer-focused presentation of innovation and feasibility.
• Rewriting sections to meet NSFC word-count and style expectations.
• Assembling a complete proposal from collected project information.

Best practices

• Provide clear, specific core scientific question(s) and 2–3 concrete innovation points.
• Supply relevant prior-work evidence, preliminary data, or citations to strengthen feasibility.
• Use the guided multi-turn collection to complete missing fields before full drafting.
• Prefer precise methods and measurable objectives over broad or vague statements.
• Request focused edits for technical-route or key-technology sections to improve operability.

Example use cases

• Convert a lab’s preliminary experiments and ideas into a 300–500 word abstract and detailed research plan.
• Draft the technical route and key techniques section with stepwise tasks and success criteria.
• Rewrite the feasibility and research-base sections to highlight team strengths and available facilities.
• Prepare a Young Scientist proposal emphasizing novelty and achievable milestones within the funding period.
• Produce reviewer-oriented summaries that align with NSFC evaluation weights (scientific value, innovation, feasibility, foundation).
