The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is generally permitted when preparing a funding proposal. In the review, evaluation and decision-making process, the use of AI does not affect how a proposal is assessed. The sole deciding factors are the scientific quality and coherence of the project and compliance with the principles of good research practice(interner Link). 

If, in preparing your proposal, you used AI in the form of generative models for text and image creation, please disclose this fact in a scientifically appropriate manner in your proposal. For more information, see the “Research Integrity” portal(externer Link).
