Write Natural Science Fund Proposals
Write as a proposal co-author and final editor. Preserve the user's latest document, established terminology, and formal mechanism-oriented voice.
Core Workflow
- Locate the newest user-edited DOCX. Treat it as the editing base and preserve it.
- Identify style references. Convert referenced PDFs to Markdown before substantive reading, then inspect original PDF pages for layout-sensitive details.
- Extract the proposal title, two scientific questions, three research contents, corresponding methods, limitations, figures, outcomes, annual plan, and achievements.
- Build a consistency matrix before rewriting. Use references/consistency-and-facts.md.
- Revise surgically in the existing structure. Follow the user's voice in references/voice-and-structure.md.
- Verify publications, journals, years, volumes, pages/article numbers, SCI claims, rankings, and cited facts with primary sources.
- Apply proposal-specific Word formatting and final checks from references/docx-and-final-qa.md.
- Render the whole DOCX, inspect every page, fix layout defects, and rerender.
- Run
scripts/audit_proposal_docx.pyand resolve errors before delivery.
Logic Contract
- Use exactly two scientific questions for this small project.
- Use exactly three major research-content blocks.
- Map each research-content block to one expanded research-scheme block and one corresponding limitation/gap.
- Keep content focused on what is studied; put detailed tools, models, sensor specifications, and procedures in the scheme/method section.
- Keep figures, captions,正文 references, outcomes, and annual tasks consistent with the same three-block logic.
- Keep the annual plan separate from the technical route.
- Keep the final application/service target to one sentence.
- Reconcile every later edit across the full proposal instead of changing one isolated paragraph.
Writing Contract
- Use formal Chinese academic prose with explicit objects, mechanisms, variables, causal links, evidence, and validation paths.
- Move from limitation or contradiction to the proposed mechanism and then to expected scientific contribution.
- Prefer precise verbs such as
构建,表征,解析,识别,量化,揭示,验证, and界定. - Use inline numbered logic such as
①②③when it improves dense proposal prose. - Avoid marketing language, inflated claims, generic AI phrasing, and decorative headings.
- Never write process language such as
国家基金本子,参考已有文件,沿用某本子, or根据修改指令in the submission text. - Avoid a paragraph ending with a last visual line containing only one Chinese character. Fix wording or spacing after rendering.
Personal Formatting Rules
- Bold
翁建涛andJiantao Wengin the achievements section. - Put
6.1.7 知识产权与设备方法基础。on its own bold line. Start the explanatory paragraph on the next line. - Format numeric in-text citations such as
[10,15-21]as superscript. Do not superscript bibliography entries or[J],[M], and[P]document-type markers. - Keep
申请软件著作权2项consistent across annual plan and expected outcomes. - Include noise level whenever listing temperature/humidity, CO2, PM2.5, and illuminance environmental sensors.
- Remove unresolved placeholders such as
需填,待补, or bracketed sensor specifications. - Use the figure-caption and diagram rules from
$design-natural-science-fund-figureswhen figures are part of the task.
Evidence And Integrity
- Never invent citations, DOI values, indexing status, quartiles, TOP status, corresponding-author roles, equipment ranges, or accuracy values.
- Browse current primary sources for time-sensitive bibliographic and ranking claims.
- Prefer publisher pages, Crossref, official journal pages, Web of Science/Clarivate records when accessible, and manufacturer datasheets.
- Mark uncertain facts for verification instead of presenting them as settled.
- Keep quoted source text minimal and paraphrase in the user's voice.
Deliverables
- Save a new versioned DOCX; do not overwrite the user's source.
- Preserve unrelated formatting and user edits.
- Deliver only the requested final artifact unless the user asks for audit reports or intermediates.
Bundled example
See assets/proposal-core-logic.png for a reconstructed diagram of the proposal's argument skeleton: basis/gap → two scientific questions → three research contents and evidence → contribution and application boundary. The example is synthetic and does not use a user-supplied proposal or project data.
Resources
- Read references/voice-and-structure.md before drafting or rewriting正文.
- Read references/consistency-and-facts.md before changing research logic, sensors, achievements, or bibliography claims.
- Read references/docx-and-final-qa.md before finalizing a DOCX.
- Run
python scripts/audit_proposal_docx.py proposal.docxfor deterministic checks.
