The Department of Defense today announced $46.8 million in grants to 19 university-based faculty teams under its Minerva Research Initiative. These three- to five-year awards support basic research in social and behavioral sciences on topics relevant to U.S. national security.

Dr. Joshua Plotkin received a grant for The Language of Parasocial Influence and the Emergence of Extremism, under the topics of Parasocial Relationships, Social Media, and Radicalization. We are excited to see where his work will lead us.
