Privacy Tools for Sharing Research Data: A National Science Foundation Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace Project is a multidisciplinary effort to help enable the collection, analysis, and sharing of personal data for research in social science and other fields while providing privacy for individual subjects. In particular, the researchers aim to build an array of computational, statistical, legal, and policy tools that can be incorporated into data repositories to make privacy-protective data-sharing easier for lay researchers. These tools will integrate with the Dataverse Network software, which is already used to host data repositories around the world.
