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.
While the project emphasizes education and community onboarding in web3, which could indirectly support the DeSci mission, it is not clearly stated how it directly innovates in areas specifically concerning scientific research funding, conducting, or dissemination.
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.
The project's priority at the moment is web3 education and community onboarding, which can serve in educating and recruiting members of the scientific community, thus contributing 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 provide concrete details on addressing specific issues such as data reproducibility, misaligned incentives in publishing, or other barriers to inclusive research as outlined by the DeSci mission.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
Without information on the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy, it is not possible to assess whether the project meets this requirement.
