## TLDR [Asterisk](https://asteriskdao.xyz/) is a decentralized autonomous organization that aims to develop research equity for global women’s non-reproductive health. This grant will fund our development through the output of a completed whitepaper. ## Vision 🤝 Asterisk’s mission is to address the disparities that hinder progressive research and funding for women’s non-reproductive healthcare. To do so, we will build: - disease-specific data lakes (starting with OCD) for female-biased…

SpaceRadar aims to track our solar system's rapidly growing space missions, starting with a focus on the cislunar economy. This is a centralized knowledge platform that shows what is flying where, and when, with detailed ship manifests. The platform puts all the key data at the fingertips of Lunar explorers like universities, research organizations and resource companies, allowing them to examine all available platforms, as well as join forces to rideshare on missions. Our Payload Platform tool…

# # Founders We are scientists that entered the blockchain space in 2021, started to develop a privacy-preserving dApp called Abakhus (https://linktr.ee/abakhus) and realized that (i) building a community to bridge portuguese and spanish speaking people and (ii) onboarding scientists and minorities was a gap to be filled, then IberoAm initiative was born. One of the founders is a native spanish-speaking of indigenous origin, the other is a native portuguese-speaking of mixed origin (as most…

Help to **unblock science** from **mis-publication** that often occurs in the centralized world. Some **scientific projects** don't receive **funding and publicity**, and if the project is important, that **blocks development** of the entire science. To **support basic science** I aim to create **grants similar to GitCoin grants** but allocate a portion of each donation to **dependencies and citations**. This will help support underfinanced "invisible" projects and **free software components**…

***LunCo is an opensource collaborative engineering software for complex systems design inspired by Lunar Exploration and built by space systems engineers*** From solar panels, wind turbines, and vertical farms through solar power stations in space to permanent settlements on Moon and Mars - it's all about engineering. Designing is hard and you need a lot of different software - CAD, CAE, CAM, FEA, MBSE, ERP, and so on. Software that can operate complex systems like factories or Lunar Colony…

The Archimedes' Lever developed from the Neuroscience of Ethereum (https://bounties.gitcoin.co/grants/7514/neuroscience-of-ethereum-decentralized-science-fo) during the inaugural Gitcoin Grants Decentralized Science #DeSci Round. A very big thank you to all supporters of such innovative ideas that cannot grow and impact the world in the realms of Traditional Academia. This project is about restoring the Spirit of Science and directing it towards the intended purpose of the Scientific Process -…

# Project Description LabPredict is a prediction market designed to make longevity research interesting, accessible, and collaborative for a diverse audience. Our primary goal is to foster engagement and harness the collective wisdom of researchers, data scientists, and enthusiasts to predict the outcomes of aging research experiments. By bringing together a community passionate about scientific discovery, LabPredict aims to accelerate the identification of effective interventions that can…

Hospitals sell YOUR health data to pharma companies. Health X Change wants to get you PAID for it!!! Problem: Health X Change, is working to address two major problems in the healthcare industry: lack of transparency and fair compensation for the use of individuals' health data, and the disconnect between pharmaceutical companies and their patients.

DeSci Japan Youth, just launched in April 2023, is the first DeSci community in Japan that mainly targets students. Through our projects, we aim to solve problems faced by students who actually aspire to do research. It also has the following mission, values, and vision ##Mission:. Expanding and Supporting DeSci-approach of students, by students, for students. ##Value:. Opening up science to those without capital and power ##Vision:. All disciplines are open to all students without any…

PsyDAO is a community-driven organization funding ethical psychedelic research. Our mission is to develop psychedelic therapeutics and intellectual property while involving all key stakeholders, including indigenous communities with preserved knowledge on psychedelics. Our recent GR15 funding has enabled us to support leading researchers and build a strong community committed to sustainable solutions for the mental health crisis. By contributing to PsyDAO, you'll play an active role in…

What is the Longevist? An overlay journal to select the most impactful longevity research every quarter. The name is supposed to evoke a similar magazine, The Economist. Where do the articles come from? Articles will be sourced from preprint servers such as BioRxiv, MedRxiv, and Arxiv. Who chooses the articles that the Longevist publishes? A quorum of key opinion leaders (KOL) in the longevity space. We are aiming to have a mix of industry and academic KOLs. Recognizing that KOLs are busy,…

With the launch of the Gitcoin Grants Stack and Allo Protocol, the DeSci community is now running its own grant rounds as part of the Gitcoin Grants Program. To enable grant round operations, the community-elected round stewards have created a multisig to act as a treasury for collecting matching funds. This multisig will also act as a community treasury to cover the costs of creating and operating grant rounds and future governance processes. A full review of on-chain transactions and costs…
