This $206,542 federal Project Grant was awarded on September 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to the University of Illinois. The grant supports research to address privacy accountability challenges within the mobile software ecosystem, characterized by the use of opaque third-party code modules. The technical objectives of this 4-year project are to: (1) understand privacy accountability issues in mobile third-party code; (2) design a privacy-accountable disclosure framework; and (3) continuously enforce privacy accountability in mobile software development. The research aims to advance the socio-technical understanding of privacy non-compliance risks and accountability challenges in the mobile software supply chain, while developing novel technical solutions to establish a more privacy-conscious and accountable mobile ecosystem.
