Workshop on Confidentiality Research

该奖项将为2003年5月12日至13日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的保密研究研讨会提供支持。数据和数据访问是社会科学引擎的燃料。然而，技术变革的快速步伐意味着需要对保密问题给予新的关注，以便充分利用和保护国家对数据基础设施的大规模投资。研讨会将包括来自不同学科的著名研究人员，包括文化人类学、经济学、伦理学、管理学、社会学和统计学。研讨会的短期目标包括确定该领域最重要的研究问题和前沿问题。预计这次研讨会将为国家科学基金会的工作人员提供有用的信息，这些工作人员将参与规划2004财年及以后人类和社会动力学优先领域的新活动。从讲习班中产生的研究具有提高社会科学数据的可用性和质量的长期潜力。研讨会的最终报告将提供给更广泛的研究界。

This award provides support for a Workshop on Confidentiality Research, to be held in Arlington, VA on 12-13 May 2003. Data and data access fuel the social science engine. The rapid pace of technological change, however, means that new attention needs to be paid to confidentiality issues in order to both fully exploit and protect the massive national investment in data infrastructure. The workshop will include noted researchers from a variety of disciplines, including cultural anthropology, economics, ethics, management science, sociology, and statistics. Short-term goals of the workshop include the identification of the most important research questions and cutting-edge issues in this area. It also is expected that this workshop will provide useful information to NSF staff that are involved in planning new activities for the Human and Social Dynamics priority area for FY 2004 and beyond. Research growing out of the workshop has the long-term potential of improving the availability and quality of social science data. The final report of the workshop will be made available to the broader research community.
