The National Science Foundation awarded a $299,999 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to assess the relationship between privacy regulations and software development, with the goal of improving rulemaking and compliance. The grant, funded through the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), will support a multidisciplinary research effort combining legal and engineering expertise.

The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include:

  1. A comprehensive study of privacy legislation and enforcement approaches worldwide
  2. Development of an automated framework using machine learning and program analysis to evaluate the impact of privacy regulations on real-world software
  3. Conclusions on how regulatory and enforcement paradigms can be improved to drive more effective compliance among software developers

This research aims to lay the foundation for a new, proactive regulatory model based on automated notifications rather than labor-intensive individual enforcement actions, thereby enhancing the efficiency and efficacy of privacy legislation. The grant period runs from Nov 1, 2023 to Oct 31, 2026, and no subawards are planned.
