Dear Colleague:
Programs in SBE, CISE, and EHR are soliciting research proposals to explore ways of improving the confidentiality of data about individuals and organizations while also permitting legitimate social and research uses of that data. Confidentiality refers to the obligations of individuals and institutions not to transmit identifiable information . regarding an individual or an organization
-- to an unauthorized party. Rules of confidentiality protect and preserve individual privacy, and proprietary or restricted organizational information. Data confidentiality focuses on ways of effectively maintaining the agreement made to a data provider by a data gatherer regarding access to information.*
New capacities to collect and integrate data about individuals and organizations offer expanded potential for scientists and policy-makers to understand factors contributing to key national priorities like job, income and wealth creation, as well as career path, health, medical and retirement decisions. The potential benefits of these new data capabilities come with certain costs. New data collection methods and substantial archives of static information, for example income, consumption, health and genetic data, pose troubling confidentiality questions. The emerging cyberinfrastructure connecting observing and sensing systems, intelligent and remotely operable instrumentation, collaboratories, federated data archives, and digital libraries will only compound data confidentiality problems.
This Dear Colleague Letter is seen as an initial step toward meeting the goal of innovatively developing confidentiality protections while maximizing appropriate use of the data. We are particularly interested in approaches which combine techniques that have been developed somewhat separately in a number of different disciplines, including computer and information science and engineering and the social, behavioral and economic sciences. The purpose of this letter is to call to the attention of the relevant research communities the disciplinary and interdisciplinary research opportunities that now exist for research on data confidentiality. Proposals with the following features are strongly encouraged:
* analyses and solutions of data confidentiality issues in
real-world contexts;
* focus on data collection and data access issues and solutions.
