- This $150,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems under the CFDA Program 47.070 "Computer and Information Science and Engineering". The award, effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, supports collaborative research on safeguarding the emerging "miniapp" paradigm within mobile "super apps". The research aims to investigate new security and privacy threats, design secure miniapp APIs, and...
- This $242,329 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program on July 1, 2025 supports research to develop a system that helps mobile device users revisit and rectify past privacy decisions they may regret. The project aims to identify which past privacy decisions are most likely to trigger user regret and only prompt users to revisit those decisions, in order to avoid repetitive alerts. The research, performed by the...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, totaling $125,962, supports research from December 1, 2022 to February 29, 2024 examining privacy expectations and practices regarding mobile health apps. Led by The University of Texas at San Antonio with the University of Texas System as parent organization, the grant combines expertise across social sciences, computer security, natural language processing, and law. The...
- The International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) was awarded a $200,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) for the period of June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2026. Under this award, ICSI will measure, validate and improve privacy labels for mobile applications. The organization will study how these labels currently work for app developers, app store administrators and end users, and analyze mobile...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: IMR: MM-1B: PRIVACY-PRESERVING DATA SHARING FOR MOBILE INTERNET MEASUREMENT AND TRAFFIC ANALYTICS" under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, in the amount of $170,000. The project aims to develop new methods for augmenting mobile internet...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) provides $300,000 in funding to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The project aims to develop new recommender systems and privacy analysis techniques to help mobile app users find applications that meet both their functional needs and privacy expectations. Key objectives include creating novel static analysis methods to examine app behaviors and data-sharing practices, and then using simulated user interactions to validate these findings and communicate app privacy risks to users. The project is expected to run from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028, promoting safer and more trustworthy mobile experiences while advancing people's understanding of online privacy.
