CRYO-14: CryoDAO Fast Grants Fellowship Proposal

Submitted by: Vincent Weisser Team Members: CryoCore, Stewards

Problem

The CryoDAO Fast Grants Fellowship aims to empower individuals with need-based grants to become more deeply involved in cryonics and cryopreservation. These grants will support activities such as research, education, conference attendance, and joining relevant programs or fellowships.

Solution

CryoDAO proposes allocating $10,000 USDC to fund the inaugural CryoDAO Fast Grants Fellowship program, providing micro-grants between $100 - $3,000 to support individuals in their pursuit of cryonics and cryopreservation research, education, and community engagement.

This would be announced once this proposal would pass, and stay open for 6 weeks.

Inspired by the success of the VitaDAO Longevity Fellowship Grants, which demonstrated the positive impact of such initiatives on the broader community, we believe that launching the CryoDAO Fast Grants Fellowship will significantly advance cryonics and cryopreservation research while strengthening our community.

By funding this inaugural batch of CryoDAO Fast Grants Fellows, we aim to foster a vibrant community of individuals dedicated to the growth and development of the cryonics and cryopreservation fields, much like the VitaDAO Longevity Fellowship has done for the longevity community.

Process: We'd propose all team members to have 1 week of time after the application deadline closed to vote on all applications with up or downvotes, and we'd fund the top applications, we keep the right to extend the period if we don't get enough convincing applications.

Budget

$10,000 USDC

Timeline

This proposal would take effect immediately upon a successful vote.
