For NIH applicants ready to revise
An in-depth review that shows you how to make your grant readable AND compelling.
For a limited time only, a one-time Aims Page review for $29.95.
SubmissionClarity analyzes your draft using both sound rhetorical principles and writing techniques that make your text — including figure captions — immediately understandable, no matter how technical. It improves how the writing conveys the science.
- Built on an in-person 5-week, 10-hour workshop taught for more than a decade at major academic institutions.
- Yes, SubmissionClarity uses AI — but you draft the grant. We start with your draft. The AI does not write the grant for you. It has been trained on the workshop methods and reviews your submission at lightning speed against those proven principles, returning actionable critiques at the section and sentence level that you can apply immediately.
- SubmissionClarity does not permanently retain the drafts you upload for review — uploaded PDFs are processed in memory. For signed-in paid reviews, generated output files are encrypted and available to the account for 72 hours, then deleted.
- The review output aims to meet the current NIH criteria on the use of AI — namely, to not submit applications “substantially developed by AI” or not have “sections largely generated by AI.” That is why SubmissionClarity only reviews drafts that you wrote.
What's reviewable today
One section per review, with the right standard for that section.
Aims, Significance, Innovation, Approach, and Career Goals/Training Plans ask different rhetorical questions. SubmissionClarity treats them differently, and ships them one at a time so each section's review is calibrated before it goes live.
Specific Aims
Funnel, gap, hypothesis, aim logic, independence, feasibility signals, and cognitive load.
Significance
Criteria mapping, importance, knowledge gap, scientific premise, and reviewer-language alignment.
Innovation
Conceptual and technical advance, with criteria-based assessment of what the work actually changes.
Approach
Rigor, feasibility, and rationale, mapped against current NIH Approach criteria.
Career Goals/Training Plans
How a review works
Three steps for a clearer Specific Aims page.
Each review focuses on one Specific Aims page and applies the right reviewer lens for your funding mechanism.
Submit your Specific Aims page
Upload the PDF of your Specific Aims page. Pick the funding mechanism — R01, R15, F31, F32, K, or R21 — so the review uses the right reviewer lens.
The engine maps your Aims argument
SubmissionClarity analyzes the persuasive architecture of the page, including the funnel, gap, hypothesis, aim logic, independence, feasibility signals, and sentence-level clarity.
