Projects should directly support the mission of DeSci to innovate scientific research by exploring novel mechanisms of funding, conducting, and disseminating scientific research in an open, inclusive, and accessible manner.
Zubar's objectives to create an open repository for dental health data and incentivize community contributions align with DeSci's mission of innovating research through open, inclusive, and accessible scientific practices.
DeSci projects most commonly support this mission by building and testing necessary technological infrastructure, but projects may also be eligible if they are deploying existing DeSci infrastructure in a scientific research context or if they are educating and recruiting members of the scientific community to contribute to the mission.
Zubar is engaged in building and testing technological infrastructure, as indicated by their goals to create a public database and conduct research on existing DeSci stack for their platform, Denther.
Concrete examples of issues covered by the DeSci mission include: the data reproducibility crisis and archaic data sharing practices; misaligned incentives and poor practices in scientific publishing and peer review; financial, linguistic, and academic barriers to globally inclusive research; intellectual property, patents, and financial incentives to trade progress for profits; academic disconnect and poor science/health literacy and trust in the lay public and government representatives.
The project addresses several DeSci issues, such as the data reproducibility crisis and archaic data sharing practices in the field of dental health, by creating a standardized and open dataset for diagnostics and treatment.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
Without specific details on the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy and the project's compliance with those policies, it is not possible to definitively determine eligibility. Further review of the project's documentation and the specific eligibility policy criteria are needed.
