The MESA Group received the Vaccine Confidence Fund (VCF) grant to study narratives of vaccine confidence among marginalized migrants in the United States. VCF is the first flagship program of the Alliance for Advancing Health Online (AAHO). As one of 33 organizations that received VCF grants totaling over $7 million, the MESA Group aspires to address the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 among marginalized migrant populations, as well as the lack of research on vaccine confidence among these populations. 

The MESA Group released the book titled "The Future of Global Competition: Ontological Security and Narratives in Chinese, Iranian, Russian, and Venezuelan Media." It is available to pre-order at Routledge and Amazon.
