The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate awarded a $1,490,000 Project Grant to Moonshot CVE USA Inc. under the Homeland Security, Research, Testing, Evaluation, and Demonstration of Technologies (CFDA 97.108) program. This two-year research program is designed to enhance understanding of the trends, nature, causes, and correlates of terrorism and targeted violence in the United States.
The key products and services to be delivered include: 1) a comprehensive systematic review of existing sources to identify commonalities across documented threats, court papers, and interviews related to targeted violence; 2) analysis of 18 months of anonymized social media data to generate insights into online environments surrounding offline incidents of targeted violence; and 3) development of a "Safety by Design" practitioner's guide on the ethical and effective creation of programs to mitigate and reduce targeted violence. The findings will be disseminated through publications, conferences, and guidance materials for homeland security and defense stakeholders.
