VDP-57 $10k for the next VitaDAO Longevity Fellowship Batch

Summary

Proposal for VitaDAO to donate $10,000 USDC to fund VitaDAO Longevity Fellows with micro-grants of up to $2k.

Project Lead: Vincent Weisser Team: Alex Dobrin, Laurence Ion, Tim Peterson

Motivation

"We are funding people with need-based grants to help you to get more deeply involved in longevity ($100 up to $3k). For example, we would fund you to do research, take a break to focus on getting deeper into longevity, attend a conference, or join a program such as On Deck Longevity Fellowship.

The first fellowships were enabled by our generous donors from our Gitcoin project “Longevity Fellowship Grants” (massive thanks to Vitalik for his generous matching, alongside Stefan George, many others, and VitaDAO itself)!"

Due to the positive feedback from the broader community and fellows, as well as amazing unfunded applicants, we wants to fund a small new batch, and think this would go incredibly far to advance longevity research and our broader community.
