The Analysis and Response Toolkit for Trust (ARTT), led by researchers at Hacks/Hackers and and the University of Washington, received an additional $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The project recently announced it is advancing to Phase II of the NSF’s Convergence Accelerator.

The ARTT Guide, which began development in Phase I of the Accelerator, provides a framework of possible responses for daily conversations around sensitive topics informed by online information analysis.
