Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of On-Line Research - Understanding How To Most Effectively Disrupt Terrorist/Extremist Material Online

Notice Description

The Home Office is seeking to fund a number of small innovative research projects (preferably ranging from PS20k - PS50k) in order to better understand how to most effectively disrupt terrorist and extremist material online, and invite research partners to submit proposals/bids which meet the aim of this tender. Specifically we aim to establish a stronger evidence base on how terrorist and extremist content can be stopped from ever being distributed, using innovative means of disruption. Additionally, we want to know how best to support and safeguard smaller platforms, which may include developing different forms of guidance. It is expected that projects will need to be completed by the end of January 2018, and that final reports will be delivered by 15th February 2018. We are keen for research proposals to be innovative and novel; however we will also consider research projects that employ more traditional methodologies (e.g. surveys or interviews). Responses to this Invitation To Tender will be evaluated by Home Office research and policy officials and Commercial Directorate. Further details can be found within the attached tender documentation.
