Project Grant 2426397
- This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development of an empathy-based framework to enhance privacy education and design. The project team at the University of Notre Dame is using generative AI to create synthetic personas with AI-generated personal data. These personas are then used to design interactive sandboxes and developer tools that allow individuals to empathize with the...

The project aims to develop new frameworks and tools to enhance privacy education and design through the use of AI-generated synthetic...
- This $163,132 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports an interdisciplinary research project investigating privacy negotiation behaviors among stakeholders in smart environments. The project team at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) is designing, developing, and deploying an interactive system to collect real-world data on how people manage and negotiate their...
- The Pennsylvania State University received a $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The award will support research from June 2023 to May 2026 to address concerns about privacy risks from personal information sharing on social media, especially for low-income and underrepresented groups. The university will study how socioeconomic status...
- This $117,451 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) supports research to develop novel approaches that can help Public Interest Technology (PIT) organizations deploy data safeguards when building AI systems. The project engages a multi-disciplinary team to conduct ethnographic and computational research on using disclosure limitation techniques, including differential privacy, to...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $280,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research into privacy ecosystems and management strategies for vulnerable populations. The project aims to go beyond an app-centric view of privacy by examining the broader privacy risks faced by vulnerable individuals, particularly in the healthcare context. Through qualitative research including...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA# 47.070) provides $263,712.00 to The Johns Hopkins University to enhance privacy literacy for elementary school children through long-term partnerships with families, schools, and community organizations. The project aims to develop a new learning model that builds a collaborative network to reinforce privacy concepts, foster critical thinking about privacy,...
- This $199,503 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund a large-scale, mixed-methods study to understand perceptions and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in K-12 education. The one-year project will survey a nationally representative sample of parents, teachers, and youth to identify opportunities, risks, and supports needed for integrating AI-driven learning tools. The study will employ both...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $128,985.00 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University to develop methods for auditing and certifying the privacy guarantees of machine learning (ML) models trained on sensitive patient data. The goal is to enable secure sharing of these models to advance medical research and scientific discovery, while protecting personal privacy rights. The...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the development of a novel plugin for the Common Online Data Analysis Platform (CODAP) to visualize data privacy concepts for teaching, as well as create associated learning modules for integrating into privacy curricula. The $500,000 project will also empirically investigate the use of storytelling visualization techniques to improve pedagogical practices for teaching data...
This federal Project Grant award of $100,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development of empathy-based privacy education and design tools. The project team at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) is using generative AI to create synthetic personas with AI-generated personal data. These personas are then used to design interactive sandboxes and developer tools that allow individuals to empathize with privacy implications, fostering privacy-responsible behaviors among internet users and software developers. The goal is to develop metrics, guidelines, and conceptual frameworks for empathy-based approaches that enhance privacy and security in cyberspace. The project will deploy these systems in outreach events and incorporate them into college-level privacy literacy educational modules. This award reflects NSF's mission to promote basic research and education in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences.
