Workshop on "Integrating Approaches to Privacy Across the Research Lifecycle"

The science of understanding human behavior, health, and interactions is being transformed by the ability of researchers to collect, analyze, and share data about individuals on a wide scale. However, a major challenge for realizing the full potential of such data science is ensuring the privacy of the data subjects. And as new demonstrations and methods of re-identification continue to emerge, traditional approaches to protecting privacy are becoming decreasingly effective.

This workshop will consider how emerging tools and perspectives from a variety of disciplines, such as computer science, social science, law, and the health sciences, should be integrated in the management of confidential research data. Multidisciplinary discussion groups will grapple with these issues in the context of exemplar research use cases. The end product of the workshop will be a succinct report summarizing the tools and use cases discussed, and mapping out, at a high level, a research agenda to advance the management of confidential research data. 

This workshop is being organized by an NSF-funded project "Privacy Tools for Sharing Research Data" at Harvard University (http://privacytools.seas.harvard.edu/), in collaboration with the Reliable Information Systems and Cyber Security (RISCS) Center at Boston University (http://www.bu.edu/riscs/).
