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 Archimedes’ Lever project supports the DeSci mission by looking to facilitate mental health services using web3 technologies, thereby potentializing novel ways of conducting research and delivering services in line with the DeSci ethos.
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 leverage existing web3 structures to create a new model (AMPL-SPOT Protocol) for the decentralized application of mental health services and governance, indicating the building and testing of necessary technological infrastructure within the research context, as well as potentially educating and involving the scientific community.
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.
While the Archimedes’ Lever project addresses the overarching themes of utilizing web3 for the public good and science, it does not provide sufficient detail on how it will concretely tackle issues such as data reproducibility, publishing practices, or intellectual property.
