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.
PoSciDonDAO clearly aims to address the challenges of scientific funding in the domain of personalized medicine by incorporating a decentralized funding model through blockchain technology, which aligns with the mission of DeSci to innovate and make scientific research funding more open and accessible.
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 is developing and testing an on-chain infrastructure including a dual-token and dual-on-chain governance model for efficient resource allocation within personalized medicine research. Additionally, ongoing efforts to build a community of scientists and advocates for decentralized science suggest an emphasis on education and recruitment in support 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.
PoSciDonDAO addresses misaligned incentives and bias in research funding, which can have downstream effects on issues of reproducibility, data sharing, and inclusivity. Their governance model strives to mitigate these biases by placing funding decisions in the hands of expert scientific members, indicating an alignment with several DeSci mission issues.
