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.
MesoReefDAO explicitly aims to support scientific research through the creation of a DAO that enhances coral reef conservation with a focus on open, inclusive, and accessible practices.
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 aims to leverage blockchain technology for funding and decision making in marine conservation, aligning with the deployment and potential building of DeSci infrastructure while also recruiting scientific community members for collaborative efforts.
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.
MesoReefDAO addresses barriers to inclusive research by focusing on local community engagement and integrating global scientific collaboration through decentralized science, which might also affect data sharing practices and science literacy.
