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.
There is not enough information provided to determine whether the applicant has a track record of research. An academic affiliation or history of independent research was not mentioned in the information provided.
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 title and description clearly indicate a focus on governance—specifically, the participation in Web3 governance and demographics of DAO users. This is relevant to decentralized governance research.
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.
The information provided does not include whether the project has received VC funding or any other kind of for-profit funding which would disqualify it from this round.
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 builds upon a previous phase, suggesting that it's either ongoing or to be launched soon, which would be aligned with the criteria. However, more specific details on the project's timeline would solidify this assessment.
