This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) grant (CFDA 47.070) provides $487,970 to Florida International University (FIU) to study and develop solutions to detect and mitigate the impact of influence campaigns and the spread of misinformation and hate speech on social media platforms. The project aims to gain a better scientific understanding of how influence operations leverage social networks, the motivations and strategies of users who distribute such content, and to create interventions that empower vulnerable audiences to reduce the reach of undesirable content. Key project activities include conducting informed-consent studies with social media users, developing a framework to detect and attribute influence campaigns, and designing solutions to obscure campaign details from adversaries and distribute responsibility for mitigation outcomes. The grant, which runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026, builds on FIU's expertise in areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and social network analysis.
