## Prompt

```text
Help me write a specific aims page (or one-page project summary) for a research grant.

**Funder and mechanism:** [e.g. "NIH R01", "NIH K award", "foundation pilot grant"]
**Problem and its significance:** [burden, cost, scale, with sources]
**What is known and the critical gap:** [DETAILS]
**My central hypothesis or objective:** [DETAILS]
**Preliminary data:** [KEY FINDINGS, or "none"]
**Planned aims:** [2-3 aims with approach for each]
**Team and environment strengths:** [DETAILS]
**Expected outcomes and impact:** [DETAILS]

Structure (must fit on one page, roughly 500 words):
1. Opening hook: the problem and why it matters now.
2. The gap: what is unknown and why it blocks progress.
3. Long-term goal, objective of this proposal, central hypothesis, and rationale (preliminary data).
4. Aims: each with a bold, active title, a short approach, and the expected outcome. Aims should be related but not dependent on each other succeeding.
5. Payoff: expected outcomes, innovation, and impact.

After drafting, review it as a busy study-section reviewer would: is the hypothesis testable, are aims independent, is the scope feasible for the budget and time, and is anything vague? Give 5 specific fixes. Mark statistics without a source I provided as [CITE].
