Fact-checker, Academic, and Community Collaboration Tools: Combating Hate, Abuse, and Misinformation with Minority-led Partnerships (FACT CHAMP) will build the tools and infrastructure to enable state-of-the-art research and practice to curb misinformation online. Our platform, FACT, will streamline and facilitate collaboration of fact-checkers, NGOs, researchers, and community leaders—particularly those from minority groups. FACT will allow practitioners and community leaders to share misinformation data and research challenges securely with academics. At the same time it will also allow academic solutions to be more easily used in practice.  FACT CHAMP includes a convergence of social science and computer science research and a range of non-profit, startup, industry, and academic partners. We will conduct in-depth ethnographic-inspired research in close partnership with Asian American and Pacific Islander communities where racially-targeted misinformation and hate speech have surged in the wake of COVID-19. We will also conduct three proof-of-concept activities to understand how we can best enable deep and meaningful collaboration between researchers, fact-checkers, and community leaders to combat hate, abuse, and misinformation. Through these activities, we will advance research on detection of controversy and hateful content, improve our understanding of hate speech and misinformation, and, most importantly, iteratively develop new tools and adapt existing ones to create collaboration infrastructure aligned with the needs of our stakeholders.

事实核查、学术和社区协作工具：利用少数人领导的伙伴关系(FACT CHAMP)打击仇恨、虐待和错误信息(FACT CHAMP)将构建工具和基础设施，使最先进的研究和实践能够遏制在线错误信息。我们的平台FACT将简化和促进事实核查人员、非政府组织、研究人员和社区领导人--特别是来自少数群体的领导人--之间的合作。FACT将允许从业者和社区领导人与学者安全地分享错误信息数据和研究挑战。同时，它还将使学术解决方案更易于在实践中使用。事实上，CHAMP包括社会科学和计算机科学研究的融合，以及一系列非营利性、初创企业、行业和学术合作伙伴。我们将与亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民社区密切合作，进行深入的人种学启发研究，在这些社区，针对种族的错误信息和仇恨言论在新冠肺炎之后激增。我们还将进行三项概念验证活动，以了解我们如何最好地在研究人员、事实核查人员和社区领导人之间实现深入而有意义的合作，以打击仇恨、虐待和错误信息。通过这些活动，我们将推进关于检测争议和仇恨内容的研究，提高我们对仇恨言论和错误信息的理解，最重要的是，反复开发新工具并调整现有工具，以创建符合利益相关者需求的协作基础设施。
