NSF Convergence Accelerator Track F: The project will “build community-oriented infrastructure that enables underserved communities to design, collaborate on, and share educational resources that address misinformation. It will leverage participatory design with digital literacy interventionists to create locally-contextualized digital literacy resources for rural communities and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. It will also design and implement a socio-technical platform that supports digital literacy interventionists to engage in the ongoing design of educational resources as a Community of Practice (CoP). This platform will allow us to scale and sustain the work to generate an enduring impact on how the nation addresses misinformation. Ultimately, this project will generate knowledge of how participatory design processes can be developed to scale local interventions. It will also advance our understanding of how sociocultural contexts and knowledge systems can shape digital literacy interventions, so that these interventions are better able to motivate and support diverse communities as they resist misinformation.”

Part of the NSF's notorious Track F program, this is the first part of a two-part grant funding a relatively low-tech project that involved building educational toolkits and building collaboration with various civil groups and institutions for the very generic purpose of "addressing problematic information." https://www.racket.news/i/120300766/center-for-an-informed-public-at-the-university-of-washington
