Pitt Cyber announced today that its Pitt Disinformation Lab is receiving a $115,000 grant from the Henry L. Hillman Foundation for its project, Building Community Resilience Against Disinformation in Western Pennsylvania.
The effort seeks to develop and create a replicable model of how to build resilience in individual communities, while driving a better understanding of how civil society can thrive in the face of social-media fueled disinformation and increasing distrust in institutions.
