Claude Skills by darylalim

Draft the budget narrative or budget justification section of a grant proposal. Covers personnel FTE and fringe calculations, direct versus indirect costs, allowable and unallowable expenses, cost sharing and match, showing arithmetic reviewers can verify, and reconciling every line against the project activities.

Draft the evaluation, measurement, data collection, or performance monitoring section of a grant proposal. Covers matching evaluation design to award size, selecting instruments and baselines, formative versus summative evaluation, data management and participant privacy, and reporting cadence.

Draft the organizational capacity, applicant qualifications, management plan, key personnel, or sustainability section of a grant proposal. Covers evidencing track record with outcomes rather than adjectives, structuring key personnel narratives, addressing fiscal controls, and writing a credible post-award sustainability plan.

Draft the project description, approach, methods, goals and objectives, activities, timeline, or work plan section of a grant proposal. Covers writing SMART objectives, distinguishing outputs from outcomes, building a logic model, and tying every activity to a stated need and measurable result.

Turn a solicitation, RFP, NOFO, or funder guideline document into a structured requirements checklist covering required sections, page and word limits, review criteria and their point weights, eligibility rules, formatting constraints, and deadlines. Use before any drafting begins.

Draft the statement of need, problem statement, significance, or background section of a grant proposal. Covers evidence hierarchy, framing the problem around the population served rather than the applicant's funding gap, connecting local data to the funder's priorities, and avoiding deficit-based language.
