Grant Intelligence & Writing Assistant

Great minds. Wasted on forms.

Your mind is a scarce resource. Wasting 40% of your time on grant writing isn't just an administrative hurdle, it's a disservice to your field.

PaperBreak.ai is a grant intelligence and writing assistant for researchers who refuse to be turned into administrators.

Supports Horizon Europe, UKRI, NIH, NSF, and more

PaperBreak is built by a former postdoctoral researcher who has lived your pain. Tell us about your problem funding applications and we'll get you started.

Problem

You did not earn a PhD to become a professional form-filler

Yet, the average Principal Investigator now spends 17 hours a week on administrative tasks.

  • Hostile Design: Eligibility criteria are complex and poorly summarised.
  • The Cost of Precision: A failure to hit written or unwritten grant goals often results in immediate summary rejection.
  • Fragmented Data: Grant information is fragmented across thousands of funders and portals.
  • Institutional Barriers: Success often depends on institutional knowledge or expensive consultants.

Solution

End‑to‑end grant workflow

PaperBreak combines grant discovery, intelligence, LLM-assisted writing, and collaboration support into a single workflow that surfaces funders and deadlines, learns from past successes, and helps draft to each call.

You are in full control, the platform augments human expertise rather than replacing it.

The technical aspects of PaperBreak integrate structured grant data with Neuro-symbolic AI to draft, format, and verify your proposals, giving you smart compliance.

Smart Compliance (Why Generic LLMs Fail)

In research, a hallucination is not a glitch; it is an academic crime. While generic AI lacks grant-specific intelligence, PaperBreak utilises a two-brain approach:

  1. The Neural Writer: Drafts high-level narratives based on your core methodology and research notes.
  2. The Symbolic Auditor: A logic-based engine that treats the Request for Proposals (RFP) as a binding contract, enforcing strict adherence to funder constraints.

Experience

Historical Benchmarking

Grant writing is a specific rhetorical exercise. We have analysed thousands of successful applications to identify the semantic patterns that win funding from bodies like the ERC, UKRI, NIH, and NSF. We don't just format; we benchmark your narrative against winning proposals to maximise your probability of success.

How It Works

Discover, Complete, Succeed

Grant application workflow diagram
  1. Grant Discovery: Access a structured database of open calls and eligibility requirements, filtered by research alignment.
  2. Neuro-symbolic Drafting: Generate proposal structures aligned to specific reviewer criteria and historical success patterns.
  3. Strict Review: Our system verifies every line against the funder's rule book, checking word counts, formatting, and required compliance matrices.
  4. Intellectual Polish: You provide the high-level conceptual direction; we handle the bureaucracy.
