The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) is offering this grant to bolster the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms online. This vital initiative focuses on cultivating an open, interoperable, reliable, and secure global Internet, emphasizing robust digital security measures. The grant is specifically dedicated to supporting projects that provide critical protection to displaced communities and individuals located within the Europe and Eurasia (EUR) region. These vulnerable populations are at significant risk of, and susceptible to, transnational digital attacks orchestrated by actors from other EUR countries, including those from which they have been displaced. Successful proposals will develop and implement effective programs to safeguard these at-risk groups from such sophisticated digital threats.
