AI Grant Writer — ThinkKits AI Tools

What It Does

The AI Grant Writer pulls real school data from ThinkKits' Knowledge Graph — enrollment, demographics, Title I status, assessment scores, funding history — and weaves it into grant narratives. It knows the compliance requirements for each federal program and inserts the right regulatory language.

Two modes: Improve an existing draft, or Generate a complete first-draft narrative from scratch.

Supported Grant Programs

Program	Key Focus
Title I-A	Supplement-not-supplant, schoolwide programs, evidence-based interventions
Title IV-A	Well-rounded education, STEM, safe/healthy schools, effective technology use
IDEA Part B	FAPE, LRE, IEP alignment, multi-sensory instruction, UDL
E-Rate	Category 1/2 services, competitive bidding, CIPA compliance
Title III	English learner support, language instruction, academic language development

You can use program names like title1, title4a, idea, erate, or title3.

Two Modes

1. Improve Narrative

You have a draft. The AI strengthens it with:

School-specific data points (enrollment, FRL%, proficiency rates, demographics)
Compliance language and regulatory citations
Quantitative evidence tied to the school profile
Flagged unsupported claims

Input: Your draft text + school NCES ID + grant program.

Output: Improved narrative, list of data points used, compliance additions, unsupported claims, word count.

2. Generate Narrative

Start from scratch. The AI creates a complete first-draft with:

Needs Assessment — Data-driven description using school data
Proposed Solution — How materials/services address needs
Implementation Plan — Timeline, responsible parties, PD
Expected Outcomes — SMART goals tied to measurable improvements
Budget Justification — Per-pupil cost analysis, cost reasonableness
Sustainability Plan — How benefits continue beyond the grant
Evidence Base — ESSA-aligned evidence for interventions

Input: School NCES ID + grant program + optional focus areas.

Output: Full narrative with sections, data points used, compliance citations, recommended attachments.

How to Use

Search for a school and open its profile
Go to Tools → Grant Writer (or AI Chat)
Select Improve or Generate
For Improve: paste your draft and select the grant program
For Generate: select grant program and optional focus areas (e.g., "math manipulatives", "STEM")
Click Run — the AI uses the school's data from the Knowledge Graph
Copy the output into your grant application or export as DOCX

  "focus_areas": ["math manipulatives", "STEM"]

Tip

Focus areas are optional. If you omit them, the AI infers them from school data — e.g., low math proficiency → "math intervention with hands-on manipulatives"; high IEP% → "multi-sensory instructional materials for IEP students."
