Applicants must now declare where generative tools were used in preparing a proposal, covering drafting, data analysis and figures alike. Reviewers remain barred from uploading any part of a submission to an external AI system, a rule introduced after a data-handling complaint earlier this year. The guidance takes effect for the next call, with no retrospective changes to proposals already under review. Institutions are being asked to update their own policies to match by the same date.
