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 provided information does not include details about the applicant's track record of research. More information is needed to ascertain whether there is a history of academic or independent 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 description indicates content creation and education about Arbitrum, which does not inherently suggest a research focus on governance, nor does it imply the generation of new insights or findings applicable to decentralized governance broadly.
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 the funding status of the project. Without further information about whether the project has received for-profit funding or not, it is not possible to score this criterion.
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 mentions activities that have been ongoing 'for quite a while', but it does not specify whether there is new or ongoing research. Additional information is needed to determine if the project is seeking funding for future or ongoing research, as opposed to completed efforts.
