Manual review of grant proposals took 14+ days per cycle and became difficult to scale as application volume increased to 139 submissions in one cycle.
  • The team created a Streamlit prototype that lets reviewers select personas and rubrics, dynamically constructs prompts, and sends them to Amazon Bedrock using Claude 3 Sonnet.
  • Review input and generated assessments are stored in DynamoDB, with AWS Lambda and Amazon S3 included in the surrounding architecture and serverless scalability considerations.
  • The approach standardizes proposal evaluation by asking the model to return structured JSON assessments across rubric dimensions.
  • Reduced review time from 14+ days to about 2 days.
  • Enabled structured capture of proposal assessment data for further analysis.
  • Supported more consistent evaluation across multiple personas and rubrics.
Architecture

A Streamlit web prototype stores personas, rubrics, and submissions in DynamoDB, constructs dynamic prompts from selected persona and rubric data, and calls Amazon Bedrock runtime with Claude 3 Sonnet to generate structured JSON assessments. The article also discusses production considerations using API Gateway, S3, KMS, IAM, CloudWatch, CodePipeline, and Bedrock Guardrails.
