Disruption of Traditional Structures
Molecule disrupts traditional structures and funding models in the scientific community. By breaking down barriers and challenging norms, it enables researchers to explore new avenues of research and pursue innovative ideas. This disruptive approach encourages creativity, encourages out-of-the-box thinking, and empowers scientists to create the unknown.
Empowerment

Research Application Process
Key insights into our selection process
1
Application and Prequalification
Researchers interested in seeking funding from BioDAO submit their research project proposals. These proposals outline the scope, objectives, methodologies, and potential impact of the proposed scientific research. Once the applications are received, a pre-qualification process takes place.
2
Commercialisation & IP Assessment
This involves assessing whether the research outcomes could lead to valuable intellectual property (IP) that could be commercialised in the future. Projects with strong IP potential are more likely to progress through the process.
3
Expert Review
Domain experts in the relevant scientific field are engaged to review the projects that have successfully passed the previous stages. Their evaluations are crucial in providing an informed recommendation on whether the project deserves funding. All projects will received the assessment from expert reviewers and could add recommendations to their proposals.
4
Community Vote
Token holders within the BioDAO community play a vital role in determining which projects receive funding. The domain expert recommendations, along with project summaries, are presented to the community. Token holders then participate in a voting process to decide which projects align best with the community's values, goals, and priorities.
5
Project Funded
Once the community vote concludes, the selected projects are officially funded. To mark this milestone, an IP-NFT (Intellectual Property Non-Fungible Token) is minted. This IP-NFT includes an assignment agreement between IP Owner and the Sponsor or BioDAO. The funds required for the research are transferred to the respective research lab.
Funding Opportunities
Longevity
VitaDAO is a community-owned collective dedicated to funding and advancing longevity science research that can improve people's lives. Primarily funds translational R&D. They are particularly interested in ‘moonshots’ – potential revolutionary contributions to science.
$ 200,000 - $250,000
Soon
Women’s Health
AthenaDAO is a decentralized collective to fund women’s reproductive health research & drug discovery. AthenaDAO wants to support underfunded research areas in reproductive health and fund translational or "basic" projects with translational potential.
$50.000 - $150.000
Soon
Psychedelics
PsyDAO is a decentralised collective funding research at the intersection of psychedelics and mental health. PsyDAO is now accepting applications for small, needs-based grants that allow you to further your creations in the psychedelic space. All researchers, artists, and creators broadly are welcome to apply, including students.
Up to $3.000
Soon
Hairloss
HairDAO is primarily interested in commercializable hair loss research, from the research’s earliest stages (pre-patent generation) to its latest stages (Phase 3 of clinical trials).
Soon
Synthetic Biology
ValleyDAO focuses exclusively on synthetic biology research that can positively impact planetary health and food security. Thus, we don't accept any therapeutics or diagnostics projects at the current moment.
$50.000 - $250.000
Soon
Cryogenics
CryoDAO's objective is to invest in cryopreservation research projects that have a high potential to increase the quality and capabilities of cryopreservation.
