Government efforts to squelch purported misinformation and disinformation on the most contested subjects in American politics don't stop with Cabinet-level agencies.
The National Science Foundation has awarded at least $39 million in grants and contracts in fiscal years 2021 and 2022 for projects that target misinformation or disinformation, frequently pertaining to COVID-19 and elections.
Two contracts went to anti-misinformation groups for journalists. Hacks/Hackers received $3.7 million with the potential for $2 million more for "expert-informed resources ... to address vaccine hesitancy and misinformation."
