NSFC (II) Research Content Organization & Writing Tool

Target Output (Contract)

• Write Destinations (3 Files):

  • extraTex/2.1.Research Content.tex

  • extraTex/2.2.Characteristics and Innovations.tex

  • extraTex/2.3.Annual Research Plan.tex

• Prohibited Modifications:

  main.tex

  ,

  extraTex/@config.tex

  , any

  .cls/.sty

  files
• Organization Principle: First write Section 2.1 as a "verifiable closed loop", then extract innovation points from Section 2.1 to generate Section 2.2, and finally split the tasks in Section 2.1 into three-year milestones to generate Section 2.3.

Parameters and Output Modes (Recommended to Provide Explicitly)

• project_root

  : Root directory of the grant proposal project (e.g.,

  projects/NSFC_Young

  )

• output_mode

  (default

  apply

  ):

  • preview

    : Do not write directly to files; output three draft LaTeX main text sections that can be copied and pasted, and mark the target file paths they should be written to

  • apply

    : Only write to the three target files (see "Target Output"), do not touch other files

Required Inputs (Minimum Information Form)

• If not provided by the user, collect/supplement first: references/info_form.md

Writing Security Constraints (Must Comply)

1. Only edit the three

   extraTex/2.*.tex

   files; do not modify

   main.tex

   ,

   extraTex/@config.tex

   , or any

   .cls/.sty

   files
2. If the target file already contains title commands (e.g.,

   \\subsection{...}

   /

   \\subsubsection{...}

   ), only replace the main text content, do not modify the title or structural hierarchy
3. If information is incomplete, ask for supplements first; do not force-write details that "look real"

Workflow (Execute in Order)

1. Locate Project and Target Files: Confirm

   project_root

   , read and only edit the three

   extraTex/2.*.tex

   files; if the target files do not exist, prompt the user to initialize/copy the template project first.
2. Fix the "Sub-Goal Triplet": Split the target into 3–4 sub-goals (recommended to number them S1–S4 for subsequent traceability), and for each sub-goal, clearly write:
   • Metrics (verifiable/acceptance-able)
   • Comparison/Baseline (compare with whom, how to compare)
   • Data Source/Verification Scheme (samples/experimental system/evaluation method)
3. Generate Section 2.1 Research Content (following the main line of Problem → Objective → Content → Route → Verification):
   • Research Problems and Overall Objectives (no more than 2 paragraphs)
   • List of Sub-Goals (3–4 items, each with the triplet)
   • Research Content and Task Decomposition (align with sub-goals, avoid "writing a bunch of methods without showing what problems they solve")
   • Technical Route and Verification Criteria (comparison/ablation/external verification/leakage prevention/statistical methods)
4. Extract Section 2.2 Characteristics and Innovations from Section 2.1:
   • 1–3 items are sufficient; each item should be expressed using a "relative coordinate system": Compared with mainstream routes A/B, this project differs in X, is expected to bring Y, and can be verified with Z.
   • Avoid absolute wording (e.g., "first time", "leading"); if it is necessary to use such wording, provide verifiable evidence or rewrite it into a reviewable relative statement.
5. Derive Section 2.3 Annual Research Plan from Section 2.1 (three years, no cross-year arrangements):
   • For each year: Annual Objective → Key Tasks → Milestones (verifiable) → Deliverables (papers/data/prototypes/specifications/software, etc.)
   • Milestones must be linked to sub-goals (otherwise reviewers will think "the plan is disconnected from the research content")
6. Consistency Check:
   • Check whether the innovation points in Section 2.2 can be traced back to specific tasks and verification in Section 2.1;
   • Check whether the milestones in Section 2.3 cover all sub-goals, and there are deliverables every year.
   • Terminology Alignment: Try to keep the research objects/abbreviations/metric names consistent with Section (I) Project Justification and Section (III) Research Basis (if they already exist in the proposal)
