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 Spacefarer Phenome project aims to optimize human genetics for space environments, an ambitious and innovative area of research. It involves open collaboration between organizations and promises to disseminate knowledge in an accessible manner, aligning with DeSci's mission.
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 description hints at employing genomics and biotechnology infrastructure, it is not explicit about whether it is developing new technology, deploying existing DeSci infrastructure, or recruiting scientists. Therefore, the connection to technological infrastructure development or deployment is not clearly established.
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 Spacefarer Phenome project does not explicitly address the data reproducibility crisis, publishing practices, financial barriers, intellectual property issues, or the disconnect between academia and the public. It is focused on a specific scientific endeavor without clear mention of addressing these general scientific process issues.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
Without explicit information on the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy provided in this context, it is not possible to determine whether the project satisfies those requirements. Additionally, the provided project details do not mention any conflicts with standard eligibility policies, but a comprehensive evaluation would require more detailed policy parameters.
