The National Science Foundation awarded a $750,000 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Michigan for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. The grant supports the NSF CONVERGENCE ACCELERATOR TRACK F: MISINFORMATION JUDGMENTS WITH PUBLIC LEGITIMACY project.

Under the award, the University of Michigan will lead efforts to examine the public's attitudes toward the legitimacy of different approaches for identifying inaccurate information. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Washington will also participate in the project. MIT will research public perspectives on legitimacy, while the University of Washington will develop crowd judgment workflows and participate in establishing a set of exemplar cases for evaluation. The subawards thereby support assessing methods to build confidence in the identification of misinformation.
