Countering Terrorist Recruitment Online

U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs), including jihadist networks, drug cartels, and individual extremists, continue to act on violent ideations and inspire others globally. Recruitment efforts are increasingly digital, thus making counterterrorism investigations more complex across borders. Furthermore, emerging technology, such as generative artificial intelligence (AI), are enhancing recruitment effectiveness with target populations. The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Counterterrorism, announces this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) to support law enforcement in countering U.S.-designated FTO online recruitment, pending the availability of funds.
