This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $393,256 to George Mason University to conduct research investigating the broader privacy ecosystems that vulnerable populations experience, beyond just individual mobile applications. The key products and services being delivered under this three-year award include: Qualitative research, including in-depth interviews and analysis, to characterize the privacy risks and management strategies for vulnerable individuals in the healthcare context, considering the broader privacy ecosystem beyond single apps. The research also explores the role of service providers like librarians, social workers, and healthcare professionals in supporting privacy management for vulnerable clients. The second phase of the research involves participatory design to develop and evaluate a freely available privacy toolkit to help these service providers support vulnerable individuals in mitigating privacy harms. The project aims to contribute to understanding privacy risks and management strategies for vulnerable populations, as well as providing a new framework for privacy and security research focused on protecting vulnerable communities.
