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.
MuseMatrix aims to educate and incubate builders in the DeSci space which aligns with the mission of innovating scientific research and exploring new mechanisms for conducting and disseminating research.
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.
MuseMatrix is focused on educating and recruiting scientists and web3 developers for DeSci, which satisfies the criterion of expanding the scientific community's contribution to the mission.
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 description does not explicitly mention addressing these concrete issues; however, the educational component may indirectly support solutions to these problems.
