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 project 'Follow The Black Hare' uses an open-source game to engage a wider audience in the concepts and culture of DeSci, which indirectly supports the dissemination of scientific research in an accessible manner.
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.
While the project is not building or testing infrastructure, it is focused on education and outreach, recruiting members of the general public to DeSci concepts, which aligns with this part of the eligibility criteria.
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 approach is educational and focuses on popularizing Web3 concepts along with DeSci which may indirectly address issues related to science/health literacy and public trust, but it does not explicitly mention addressing the other issues listed.
