From Idea to Funded: Write Your Research Proposal and Grant Application Step by Step with SciSpace AI Agent

​A strong idea isn’t enough. Funders back proposals with a clear question, a well-evidenced gap, a feasible plan and a convincing case for impact. Getting all of that onto the page, against a deadline, is where most applications stall.

​In this live, hands-on session, Dr. Faheem Ullah walks through how to turn an early research idea into a complete, well-structured research proposal and grant application, step by step, with SciSpace AI Agent.

​What you’ll learn

• ​Sharpen your idea: turn a broad topic into a focused research question with clear aims and objectives.

• ​Prove the gap: find and synthesise the most relevant literature fast, and build a background section with real, accurate citations.

• ​Design the project: draft your methodology, work plan, timeline and expected outcomes with AI support.

• ​Make the case: write impact and significance sections that speak directly to what funders look for.

• ​Review like a panel: check your proposal against typical assessment criteria and fix weak spots before reviewers find them.

• ​Submit with confidence: final checks before you hit submit.

​Who this is for

• ​Faculty and researchers preparing grant or fellowship applications

• ​PhD and master’s students writing research proposals

• ​Early-career researchers applying for their first funding

• ​Research managers and R&D teams who support proposal writing

​Format

• ​About 45 minutes of live demo, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A

• ​Bring your own proposal questions; Dr. Ullah will answer them live
