ReSci posits that an entity benefiting financially from the creation and/or sale of a given ecocredit should not be involved in the process of reviewing a methodology for approval and adoption as an ecocredit. \nThus, ReSci Network aims to provide independent review in order to best prevent potential conflicts of interest. \n\n**Our essential responsibility is to assure that ethical science is at the core of ecocredit methodology development and peer review. To this end, we act as a community leader catalyzing the formation and flourishing of distributed communities of regenerative practice** \n\nHow? \n\nWe hold a 3-pronged approach for achieving our mission\n\n1. Scientist and Methodology Project Databases\n\nHuman capital and expertise are crucial to achieving a project’s mission. We’ve created a two-part database in a public-facing Notion so that projects developing methodologies can find scientists with appropriate expertise (and vice versa) to consult while they are in the early stages of developing their methodology concept. \n\nScientists: Please visit https://notionforms.io/forms/resci-network-scientist-directory-intake-form to complete database intake \n\nMethodology Projects: Please visit https://notionforms.io/forms/methodology-project-directory-intake-form to complete database intake. \n\nWe appreciate your participation!\n\n2. Communications Hub\nHosted in console.xyz, our communications hub is designed to natively host curated conversation as well as relevant resources such as Notion. Scientists and Methodology Projects alike can request access after completing intake to our database. The goal of the comms hub is to spark connection for collaboration and to support the methodology development and peer review sprints that we hold space for. \n\n3. Methodology Development and Peer Review Sprints \nMethodology Development sprints are intended for projects who have received approval of a concept note (from Regen Network or similar) and have not yet begun the process of methodology definition beyond a general outline. \nPeer review sprints are reserved for groups that have dedicated a significant amount of resources to the development of a methodology (specifically, collaboration with credentialed scientists). These projects are at the stage of a first draft whitepaper. \n\nWe at ReSci Network are passionate about the role of ethical science in ecosystem regeneration. We believe that holistic ecocredits, if implemented via methodologies developed by ethical science, can act as a crucial component in a flywheel mechanism for long term funding in environmental stewardship. \n\n___\nHow You Can Help\nPlease help us reach our goal of raising a total of $25k in Gitcoin’s Climate Alpha round by making any donation that is accessible to you and by sharing our project link to others who are passionate about science’s role in ecosystem regeneration. \n\nWith $25k, we will be able to perform a full scale alpha methodology development and peer review sprint.  Funds will be allocated to sprint stewards,  a communications steward, and scientists who contribute to the sprint. Within the container of an 8 week sprint, we aim to compensate scientists at a competitive rate of $50/hr for their expertise. Beyond the cost of the sprint, funds will be allocated to cover a. further research of appropriate legal entities that can meet the needs of a truly decentralized scientific community and b. basic legal costs of organization upkeep. \n\nWe were selected as a runner-up project in the December 2022 Future Quest Climate Pool and need funding to be able to sustain our momentum in building and weaving. Thank you for supporting our sustenance and nourishment through the winter. 🐻 💚\n\nSincerely, \nSage and Ned\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "@ReSciNetwork"}
