You are a researcher. To qualify for this round you need to have a track record of research. This can be as part of an academic affiliation or as an independent researcher. If you are applying for a grant for your first research project, email hello@metagov.org with more info on why you are the right person to conduct this research.
The applicant has demonstrated a track record of research through their provided links, including academic publications and contributions to open governance research.
Governance focus for the research. We will only accept grants that have a clear focus on governance. As noted in the description, you don’t necessarily need to focus exclusively on DAO or web3 governance, but your research needs to be applicable to decentralized governance broadly. A focus on Arbitrum or Uniswap is appreciated but not required.
The project clearly focuses on decentralized governance, as indicated by its exploration of 'self-infrastructuring' within decentralised technology communities, with implications for DAOs, blockchain governance, and AI governance.
No for-profit funding. If you have received VC funding or any other kind of funding that requires a return on investment, then it will not qualify. It is ok if you’ve received other grants.
There is no information provided regarding previous funding sources for the project that could disqualify it on the basis of for-profit funding requirements.
No retrospective funding. The research must either be launched soon or currently ongoing. Completed projects are not eligible for funding in this round.
The project description implies that it is ongoing and seeks funds for production of artefacts related to the book; hence, it is not a completed project.
