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.
Replicare aims to address the replication crisis in empirical research by providing a decentralized platform for assessment and improvement of computational reproducibility, aligning with DeSci's mission to foster open and inclusive scientific 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.
Replicare is contributing to the DeSci ecosystem by developing and deploying technological infrastructure to facilitate crowdsourcing, cataloguing, assessing, and improving reproducibility in scientific research.
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 specifically addresses the data reproducibility crisis, which is a core issue of the DeSci mission, suggesting Replicare is directly contributing to resolving challenges outlined in the DeSci scope.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
While the project aligns with the DeSci mission and objectives, the details for compliance with the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy are not provided and thus cannot be assessed without additional information.
