Guidelines on Generative Artificial Intelligence

Proposers are not prohibited from the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) tools, such as ChatGPT. However, following NASA policy, the proposal must acknowledge content that is not the creative product of the proposal team. Thus, any material contained in the proposal that is derived from GAI must be described and cited, e.g., the name of the program, version number, the date and time, and a short statement on how the GAI was used. This information must be included with the References and does not count against the page limits. Failure to disclose the use of GAI will result in disqualification.

Proposers are reminded that using GAI tools will place that text in the public domain. Reviewers are forbidden from uploading proposal content or review materials to GAI tools, since this violates the confidentiality of the review process.
