About this opportunity
The Department of State Bureau of Public Affairs is seeking applicants for a cooperative agreement to develop an evergreen game in a sandbox platform with an existing fan base. The game aims to build cognitive resilience to authoritarianism, promote democratic norms and values, and increase player skepticism of foreign propaganda and disinformation by enhancing media literacy and digital safety. Key objectives include informing and influencing foreign publics, advancing national interests, and enhancing national security. The evaluation criteria will likely focus on the game's ability to achieve these goals. The proposal is due by May 22, 2024.
The funding opportunity is part of the Public Diplomacy Programs (CFDA 19.040), which supports U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives. While the specific award value or budget range is not provided, the game is expected to have broad reach and impact, targeting foreign audiences through an existing sandbox platform with an established fan base.
Synopsis
Drawing on the science of prebunking and the popularity and penetration of video games, the implementer will develop an evergreen game in a sandbox platform, with an existing fan base, in which participants play a game that builds cognitive resilience to authoritarianism and promotes democratic norms and values. The game will increase player skepticism of foreign propaganda and disinformation by increasing player media literacy and digital safety.
