Launching Soon — An OmniKog Product

AI-Powered Review for
NIH Grant Applications

Like having a meticulous, experienced colleague read your entire application and give you constructive, criteria-based feedback — available on demand.

Review and Feedback. Not Writing.

Grant Assistant reads, critiques, and comments on what you have written. Every word in your grant remains yours.

What Grant Assistant Does

  • Reads and critiques your application
  • Scores each review factor on the NIH 1–9 scale
  • Identifies strengths and weaknesses
  • Provides specific improvement suggestions
  • Adds inline comments to your Word document

What It Does NOT Do

  • Does not generate application text
  • Does not draft specific aims
  • Does not produce content to submit as your own
  • Does not replace your scientific judgment

Fully aligned with NIH Policy NOT-OD-25-132 on responsible use of AI in grant applications.

What You Get

Everything you need to see your application through a reviewer's eyes.

Scored Review Criteria

Each review factor — Significance, Approach, Innovation, Investigator — receives a 1–9 NIH-scale score with detailed commentary on strengths and weaknesses.

Annotated Documents

Download your .docx with inline Word comments placed at specific paragraphs. Filter by severity level (Hi/Med/Lo) and regenerate on the fly.

Summary Reports

Downloadable DOCX summary report with scores, feedback, and timestamped footer. A structured overview of your application's strengths and gaps.

Iterative Revision

Revise your application and resubmit for another round of review whenever you're ready. No limits on how many times you iterate.

Multiple Mechanisms

Select the review criteria appropriate for your grant mechanism — R01, K23, VA Merit, and more. Each mechanism evaluated against its specific criteria.

Severity Filtering

Toggle Hi/Med/Lo severity levels when downloading annotated documents. Focus on the most critical issues first, then address the rest.

Leveling the Playing Field

Successful investigators routinely circulate drafts to colleagues, mentors, and mock study sections. But access to experienced reviewers is uneven — early-career researchers, those at smaller institutions, or investigators entering new fields may lack a deep bench of colleagues.

Grant Assistant provides the kind of rigorous, criteria-based feedback that a seasoned reviewer would offer, available on demand at any stage of the writing process.

🎓

Early-Career Researchers

Get experienced-reviewer-level feedback before you have an established network

🏛

Smaller Institutions

Access the same caliber of feedback available at major research universities

🔬

New Research Areas

Moving into a new field? Get feedback even without domain-specific colleagues

Enterprise-Grade Privacy

Your grant applications contain sensitive research. We treat them that way.

Your Data Is Never Used to Train AI

Explicit contractual commitment. Not a checkbox in settings — a legal guarantee.

Transient, In-Memory Processing

Data processed transiently with 24-hour TTL. Not written to persistent storage on AI provider servers.

Enterprise AI, Not Consumer AI

Governed by enterprise Terms of Service and Cloud Data Processing Addendum. No human review of your prompts.
