Information Controls Research Program

OTF’s Information Controls Research Program (ICRP) supports individuals conducting research into how repressive governments are restricting the free flow of information, cutting access to the open internet, and/or implementing censorship mechanisms. Supporting a diverse range of multidisciplinary research activities, the ICRP may fund projects that seek to develop or refine tools and techniques used to monitor internet interference worldwide, or others looking to analyze targeted online threats and attacks against at-risk groups (such as civil society organizations, journalists, or activists) in specific geographic areas.
