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.
VinQ appears to be aligned with the DeSci mission by aiming to transition agricultural practices to more sustainable ones using a data-centered approach, which involves novel methodologies for data collection, analysis, and decision-making in viticulture.
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 has built and tested technological infrastructure such as sensors and the NAYAD remote sensing online platform, and is using AI for data analysis to provide actionable insights for farmers, which supports the technological infrastructure aspect of DeSci projects.
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.
VinQ addresses several of these issues by facilitating open and dynamic collaboration in research without the constraints of traditional scientific institutions, therefore tackling problems such as data sharing practices, inclusive research, and potentially intellectual property barriers by allowing open contributions from a diverse range of participants.
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 full parameters within which it operates, it is not possible to definitively determine if the project meets all aspects of the general eligibility criteria. Further investigation would be needed.
