DReps are a vital part of Cardano’s governance design - voting on governance actions on behalf of other ADA holders who have delegated their voting power. As we embark on this new governance journey, participation and inclusion are critical characteristics for a healthy system, and education continues to be a core pillar.

Through Intersect, a new DRep Pioneer Program grant has be opened up specifically looking for applications from capable member organizations to deliver a unified DRep Pioneer course to the Cardano community as Pioneer Workshop Leaders. This is for anyone in the Community looking to be part of the DRep Pioneer Program - as workshop leaders.

By the end of the program, a significant part of the community will be armed with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively participate in Cardano’s governance. More importantly, the Pioneer Program paves the way for future leaders in Cardano - equipping the community with knowledge and tools to govern our global financial and social infrastructure into the future.

Intersect is providing a fixed incentive range from 20,000 to 25,000 ADAs to join a small group of other Workshop Leaders to co-design and deliver a unified curriculum and continuous learning program to their respective community and region. Creating the first cohort of Cardano DReps who can effectively perform their role in Cardano’s governance design.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-knowledge-base/archive/cardano-budget-archive/intersect-operational-services/2024-intersect-cdh-and-grant-contracts/2024-cdh-grants/closed-grants/drep-pioneering-program.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
