Researchers waste 116 hours per grant application—time that should fuel discovery, not paperwork. For a single funding council, the collective time scientists spend writing proposals equals 550 full-time researchers working an entire year, despite success rates below 20%. Studies confirm the bitter truth: time invested in grant writing doesn't even improve funding outcomes. The result? Promising research dies on the vine not because it lacks merit, but because our broken system rewards administrative skill over scientific brilliance—systematically suffocating innovation before it can breathe.\n\nSolution\n\nIdeosphere's prediction markets transform scientific speculation into direct research funding, with researchers receiving cash flow through trading activity spread on their prediction markets. Through our robust two-stage validation process—independent verification of milestones with UMA-powered dispute resolution—we ensure integrity while creating powerful incentives: researchers receive continuous funding as market activity grows, while science enthusiasts monetize their expertise by backing promising research early. This revolutionary model means researchers earn more as interest in their work increases, creating a virtuous cycle where scientific progress and financial rewards align perfectly.\n\nRoadmap\n\nPhase 1: Foundation (Q2-Q3 2025)\n\n- Complete MVP development with core prediction market functionality\n- Onboard 3-5 pilot researchers with focused, verifiable hypotheses in supplement efficacy\n- Build initial community of science-oriented traders through targeted outreach\n- Launch beta version with limited markets to test mechanisms and gather feedback\n\nPhase 2: Validation & Expansion (Q4 2025-Q1 2026)\n\n- Refine platform based on beta feedback and optimize user experience\n- Expand researcher onboarding process with streamlined verification procedures\n- Develop partnerships with 1-2 research institutions for credibility and pipe\n\nPhase 3: Growth & Ecosystem Development (Q2-Q4 2026)\n\n- Scale researcher onboarding with verified track record and results\n- Implement community governance for market creation and dispute resolution\n- Develop reputation systems for both researchers and traders", "hidden": false, "question": "Describe your project in a few paragraphs (ideally including a problem statement, solution, roadmap, and timeline for implementation)", "questionId": 6}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Ideosphere embodies DeSci's core mission by creating a decentralized funding mechanism that bypasses traditional gatekeepers while aligning scientific progress with market incentives. \n\nOur prediction markets democratize research by allowing anyone to back promising science and potentially profit from correct outcome predictions.
