Thanks, Angela! Designing better reward systems in web3 is pivotal to prevent web2-style dopamine loops. Algorithmic policymaking can go down the latter route pretty quickly if not designed with intention!
I’ll be discussing this a lot more with folks at GitcoinDAO, Kernel, and the other communities that I’m a part of 
Hi Angela, this is a great initiative! Definitely agree with @sidcode that we should mindfully design rewards. My startup OP Games is hoping to bring more game designers into the space-- they would definitely benefit from this research.
If you are open to additional co-funders and collaborators we are definitely keen to get involved!
Hi polats, thanks for your comment - and yes, please do get involved. 
This program is meant to integrate many perspectives.
We welcome co-researchers who can commit their time (~10hours per week) to actively contribute - and we welcome anyone interested to attend our public lectures!
Please sign-up here and we’ll keep you posted: https://forms.gle/zNNLdi8aUKystz3QA
See you there! 
UPDATE:
We’ve just got our grant at OceanDAO confirmed for this initiative, and will have Ocean DAO on board as one of our case partners. 
So far, OceanDAO has distributed almost $2M OCEAN in 10 funding rounds. Read more about the evolution of their grants process, and their roadmap for 2022.
For the Rewards Systems research, we’ll have access to Ocean DAO grants data, we’ll work with ecosystem stakeholders, and finally will be able to verify our solutions under real-DAO conditions.

I’m looking forward to the research, collaboration and resource sharing that will occur over the next few months while researching reward systems.This was a very exciting post to read…
I trust it will be even more exciting to be a part of it all.
I’d like to voice support for this initiative.
Rewarding community contributions to DAOs is a challenge we all have to solve. There are a handful of efforts in this direction and empirical data sets that can now be studied. The better we are at rewarding efforts, the stronger our communities will become. This initiative is a public good that will benefit all DAOs,
This team behind this initiative have stellar reputations and are known for delivering. My thinking is this important work is in very good hands and we should do all we can to support them.
Thank you for reading.
signalling support for this hardworking, dedicated, diverse community and their vision
thanks everyone for the support!
here is also a reward system’s panel we hosted at the Governauts.
I would love to join the program 
Hi PabloFM,
great you are interested!
The program will start in November, our goal is to gather a great mix of people from various backgrounds: economics, political science, engineering, data analysis, DAOs and more. Applications are not open yet, but please sign-up here and we’ll keep you posted https://forms.gle/zNNLdi8aUKystz3QA
Hi everyone,
we’re coming closer to kicking off our program!
After fleshing out the program, onboarding the first two partners, and a kick-off with our resaerch team, we’ve opened up applications for community co-researchers.
We invite people from various backgrounds (social science, game design, engineering) and ofc DAOists to actively take part and work on a self-defined research question.
Learn more here: TokenEngineering Academy | Token Engineering
@PabloFM @ALOYSIOUS, polats & sidcode pls register!
And for everyone reviewing our proposal: we can’t wait to add Gnosis Zodiac to the list of partners!
See you there!
None of those discord IDs can be added 
Hi everyone -
FYI we share regular updates on the progress of this initiative here - make sure to check it out for links to talks, presentations and knowledge resources! 
We are in the final phase of this program - all updates are available here: # GIP-15: Governauts Rewards Systems Research Initiative - #2 by akrtws-TE-Academy
Look forward to your next grand meeting
As long as it’s free, I like it. I love your project
It is estimated that it has failed
Our research teams are on the home stretch for Governauts Rewards Systems!
Make sure to mark your calendar for
FINAL PRESENTATIONS
on Thursday, February 24, 4pm UTC
You are warmly invited to join us, see you there!
We look forward to your surprise
