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.
The description of Archimedes' Lever suggests a focus on web3 education and community onboarding rather than direct contribution to scientific research processes.
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.
The project aims to educate about web3 and recruit members of the community, which aligns with this aspect of the DeSci mission.
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's current priorities seem focused on broad educational goals within web3 rather than on addressing specific issues listed in the DeSci mission such as data reproducibility, publication practices, or inclusivity barriers in research.
