Open Grant Proposal Standard for Decentralized Science

I really like David Lang’s idea for an open grant proposal standard from his post, DeSci Musings, for scientific funding. Such a standard would make it easier for scientists to request funding from multiple Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) at a time (even possibly a council of DAOs), and would free up time spent drafting proposals towards doing more research. Additionally, it would help push Decentralized Science (DeSci) more towards standards-setting, rather than developing platforms.

Some of my questions regarding such a standard are:

1. What should be included in this standard?

2. Will this make it easier for researchers to apply to multiple funding organizations?

3. How to raise interest in adopting such a standard in DeSci?

4. Will such a standard increase participation in research?
