One focused workspace for evidence, structure, review, and researcher-controlled revision.
CORE PRINCIPLES
Built on evidence.
Designed for serious research.
Keep evidence traceable, assumptions visible, and the essential research workflow connected.
No AI Hallucinations
Keep unsupported content out of your proposal.
Backed by Verified Research
Every important claim stays connected to its source.
One Workspace
Search, cite, write and review in one place.
CONNECTED RESEARCH SOURCES
Search literature,
without leaving your proposal.
Start with one scientific claim, then search, verify, and cite trusted research sources in the same workspace.
Search availability, speed, metadata, and returned fields may vary by source.

HOW IT WORKS
From research context to a proposal you can inspect.
Start with the context you have. FundLabs creates a proposal starter, keeps evidence and open questions visible, and lets you decide what enters the document.
Step 1 - Start with your research
Start with what you have.
Describe the research direction or bring a draft, figures, or supporting files. A topic alone is enough to begin.
- Begin with a research topic or an existing draft
- Attach figures and project files when useful
- No mandatory setup form

Tell me what you study or what you are applying for.
I want to write a proposal about early biomarkers for preclinical Alzheimer's disease.

Grounded in your evidence. FundLabs keeps open assumptions visible for your review.Step 2 - Review the proposal starter
Review a structured proposal starter.
FundLabs organizes the project in chat, links grounded sources, and marks unconfirmed decisions as assumptions. Refine the starter or add it when it is useful.
- Structured aims and document outline
- Grounded references remain visible
- Open assumptions stay clearly labeled

Early biomarkers for preclinical Alzheimer's disease
A focused rationale and staged validation path, with unconfirmed decisions kept visible for the investigator.
Specific Aims - starter
- Define a focused multimodal biomarker signature.
- Train and validate an interpretable prediction model.
- Test generalizability in an independent cohort.
Project SummarySpecific AimsSignificanceInnovationApproach
Open assumptions - Central hypothesis and validation cohort need confirmation.
Step 3 - Draft, cite and review
Draft, cite, review, and revise.
Edit beside your reference pool and AI assistant. Run focused review checks, inspect each finding, and decide which changes enter the proposal.
- Evidence-linked citations and live bibliography
- AI assistance and proposal review beside the draft
- Version history and export when you are ready

RESEARCH TASKGENERAL AIFUNDLABS
01Start a new draft
Re-upload files and explain the project again.Context remains scattered across chats and tools.
Proposal generation from partial context.Figures, aims, and hypotheses stay with one project so you can continue without rebuilding the context.
02Check a scientific claim
Leave the answer and trace the source yourself.Context remains scattered across chats and tools.
Evidence-linked claims and citations.Inspect the supporting passage beside the draft before a citation enters the proposal.
03Write to the funding call
Keep limits and review criteria in another checklist.Context remains scattered across chats and tools.
Funder-aware proposal review.Requirements remain visible while every section stays aligned to the call, criteria, and constraints.
04Review an AI revision
Manually compare a replacement paragraph.Context remains scattered across chats and tools.
Controlled revision history.See the location and rationale, then apply or reject the change. You remain the final decision-maker.

FAQ
Questions researchers ask before starting.
What can I start with?+
You can begin with a research topic, rough aims, figures, an RFP, or an existing proposal draft. More detail improves specificity, but it is not a prerequisite for seeing a useful starter.
What does "Zero AI Hallucinations" mean in FundLabs?+
Supported scientific claims are connected to inspectable literature sources. When an important project detail is unknown, FundLabs marks it for your input instead of presenting an invented detail as fact.
Does FundLabs submit applications for me?+
No. FundLabs helps researchers build, review, cite, revise, and export proposal materials. The researcher remains responsible for scientific judgment and submission.
Which funders are supported?+
FundLabs prioritizes NIH and NSF workflows and supports additional research funding contexts including UKRI, ERC, Horizon Europe, NSFC, and other funders when the relevant requirements are available.
START WITH THE CONTEXT YOU HAVE
