TÜBİTAK ARDEB Proposal Scaffolder — 1001 & 1002-A

Scaffolds a TÜBİTAK ARDEB (Araştırma Destek Programları Başkanlığı — the Research Support Programmes directorate) proposal against the verified official form tree, in the directorate's own Turkish section order, then maps the researcher's content into each heading and checks the hard caps the panel rejects on. It owns the Turkish-specific form structure, terminology, and program rules only — generic grant-craft (broader-impacts argumentation, feasibility narrative, Gantt aesthetics) is delegated to alterlab-research-grants.

Two variants:

• 1001 — Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Projelerini Destekleme Programı (Support Programme for Scientific and Technological Research Projects). The heavy, full-form program.
• 1002-A — Hızlı Destek Modülü (Fast Support Module). The light, short-form, low-budget, rolling-application variant.

Quick Start

Write me a TÜBİTAK 1001 proposal outline for <topic>
Draft the özgün değer (original value) section for my ARDEB 1001
Scaffold a 1002-A Hızlı Destek başvurusu
Turn my NSF broader-impacts paragraph into a TÜBİTAK yaygın etki section

→ Pick the variant, generate the section tree (scripts/scaffold_proposal.py), draft each heading from the user's material, then run the cap/structure check (scripts/scaffold_proposal.py --check) before reporting. Always print the verify-current-call disclaimer — caps and forms change every application period.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the request is to author, outline, or section-map a TÜBİTAK ARDEB 1001 or 1002-A proposal, draft a specific Turkish section (özgün değer = original value; yaygın etki = broader impact/dissemination; yöntem = method; iş paketi = work package), or translate international broader-impacts framing into TÜBİTAK terminology.

Does NOT Trigger

The route below sends adjacent requests to the correct sibling skill in the suite. This skill does not check journal indexing, compute career points, or write a non-Turkish grant.

The Verified Form Tree

Both forms share the same backbone; 1002-A is the trimmed variant. Section names below are the directorate's own headings (see references/form_structure.md for the full annotated tree and the per-section drafting briefs).

#	Section (TR)	English gloss	1001	1002-A
Özet	ÖZET (TR) + ABSTRACT (EN)	Abstract as two separate blocks (TR + EN), each with Anahtar Kelimeler / Keywords	✅	✅
1	ÖZGÜN DEĞER	Original value / significance	✅	✅
1.1	Konunun Önemi ve Özgün Değer	Importance & original value of the topic	✅	✅
1.2	Araştırma Sorusu / Hipotezi	Research question / hypothesis	✅	✅
1.3	Amaç ve Hedefler	Aim & objectives	✅	✅
2	YÖNTEM	Method	✅	✅
3	PROJE YÖNETİMİ	Project management	✅	(light)
3.1	İş-Zaman Çizelgesi ve İş Paketleri (+ B-Planı)	Work–time chart & work packages (+ contingency plan)	✅	✅
3.2	Araştırma Olanakları	Research facilities/resources	✅	✅
4	YAYGIN ETKİ	Broader impact / dissemination	✅	(light)
4.1	Öngörülen Çıktılar	Expected outputs	✅	✅
4.2	Öngörülen Etkiler / Bilim İletişimi	Expected impacts / science communication	✅	✅
EK-1	Kaynaklar	References (cited literature)	✅	✅
EK-2	Bütçe ve Gerekçesi	Budget & its justification	✅	✅
EK-3	Diğer Projeler / TÜBİTAK Destekleri	Other projects & prior TÜBİTAK support	✅	(if applicable)

Map, don't invent. The directorate evaluates against these headings; never silently restructure them into an IMRaD paper. The özgün değer section is the single most weighted part of a 1001 — it is where the panel decides novelty.

The Hard Caps (panel rejects on these)

These are administrative-eligibility filters: a proposal that violates them can be returned without scientific review. Pin them with scripts/scaffold_proposal.py --check; see references/program_profiles.md for the full table with as-of dates.

Item	1001	1002-A
Özet word cap (TR & EN each)	600 words	600 words
Project duration	≤ 36 months	≤ 12 months
Budget upper limit (PTİ/burs hariç)	3,000,000 TRY (2026-1 period)	150,000 TRY/yr (incl. burs, as of 2026-02-01)
Application window	Periodic call (çağrı)	Rolling / year-round (sürekli)
Form length	per current rehber (guide)	≤ 12 pages excl. annexes
PI (Yürütücü) requirement	Doctorate + eligible affiliation	per current rehber

Verify-current-call disclaimer (always print). Every TRY figure, page limit, and duration above is dated and changes each application period. Before the user submits, WebFetch the live program page and the current başvuru rehberi (application guide) listed in references/program_profiles.md and reconcile. Caps observed for the 2026-1 (1001) and 2026-02-01 (1002-A) periods; TÜBİTAK has announced major 1002 program changes, so treat 1002-A caps as especially volatile.

The Four Review Dimensions

ARDEB panels score against four axes. Draft each section to its axis; the mapping below is the lens the panelist (hakem) uses. Full criteria in references/review_criteria.md.

Dimension (TR)	English	Carried mainly by
Bilimsel/Teknolojik Nitelik ve Özgün Değer	Scientific quality & original value	Özet, §1 ÖZGÜN DEĞER, EK-1
Yöntem	Method & feasibility (yapılabilirlik)	§2 YÖNTEM
Proje Yönetimi ve Araştırma Olanakları	Project management & resources	§3 (iş paketleri, B-Planı, §3.2)
Yaygın Etki	Broader impact & dissemination	§4 YAYGIN ETKİ, EK-2

---

Terminology Bridge (international ↔ TÜBİTAK)

When the user arrives with NSF/NIH/ERC material, translate the concept, not word-for-word. Full glossary in references/terminology_bridge.md.

International term	TÜBİTAK term	Note
Significance / innovation / intellectual merit	Özgün değer	The most weighted axis; lead with what is genuinely new
Broader impacts	Yaygın etki	Split into çıktılar (outputs), etkiler (impacts), bilim iletişimi (sci-comm)
Feasibility	Yapılabilirlik	Lives inside §2 YÖNTEM + §3 management
Contingency / risk plan	B-Planı	A required sub-element of the work-package section, not optional
Work package / Gantt	İş paketi / İş-Zaman Çizelgesi	Gantt aesthetics → delegate to alterlab-research-grants
Aims & objectives	Amaç ve Hedefler	Hedefler should be measurable, tied to work packages

Pipeline (how to run it)

1. Choose the variant and generate the scaffold

uv run python skills/turkish-academia/alterlab-tubitak-proposal/scripts/scaffold_proposal.py \
    --program 1001 \
    --title "<project title>" \
    --out proposal_scaffold.md

--program accepts 1001 or 1002a. The script emits the full Markdown section tree with the TR heading, its English gloss, the panel dimension each section serves, and a short drafting brief per heading. Use --lang tr (default) or --lang both for bilingual headings.

2. Draft each section from the user's material

Fill the scaffold from what the user provides. Keep the directorate's ordering. For özgün değer, state the gap and the new contribution explicitly. For yaygın etki, populate all three sub-parts (çıktılar / etkiler / bilim iletişimi). Pull literature into EK-1 Kaynaklar — and have alterlab-citation-verifier existence-check the bibliography before submission.

3. Check the caps and structure

uv run python skills/turkish-academia/alterlab-tubitak-proposal/scripts/scaffold_proposal.py \
    --check proposal_scaffold.md --program 1001

The checker reports: missing required sections, TR/EN özet word counts vs the 600-word cap, whether duration/budget statements (if present) exceed the program ceilings, and whether a B-Planı sub-section exists. It is advisory — it never edits the proposal and it always restates the verify-current-call disclaimer because the ceilings are period-specific.

4. Hand off and disclaim

• Budget detail / VYP-style data plan → name the sibling (alterlab-kvkk-dmp, alterlab-aperta); do not draft compliance text here.
• Always tell the user to confirm the live caps in the current rehberi before submission.

---

Submission Surface (read-only facts)

• PBS — Proje Başvuru Sistemi at ardeb-pbs.tubitak.gov.tr. Proposals are entered and submitted here.
• ARBİS — Araştırmacı Bilgi Sistemi at arbis.tubitak.gov.tr. A current ARBİS record is a prerequisite; the PI/personnel CVs flow from it. Tell the user to refresh ARBİS before starting the PBS entry.

This skill does not automate or log into either system — it produces the document content the researcher pastes/uploads.

---

Self-Check Before Reporting

• Did you use the directorate's section order and Turkish headings, not an IMRaD remap?
• Is the özet within 600 words in BOTH Turkish and English?
• Did you state duration/budget only with the verify-current-call disclaimer, never as a guaranteed cap?
• Does §3 contain a B-Planı, and §4 all three yaygın-etki sub-parts?
• Did you route budget-compliance, ethics, indexing, and reporting asks to the correct siblings rather than answering them here?
