#  Privacy Tools Project 

 



 Led by Salil Vadhan, the Privacy Tools Project (more fully, "Privacy Tools for Sharing Research Data"), is a broad effort to advance a multidisciplinary understanding of data privacy issues and build computational, statistical, legal, and policy tools to help address these issues in a variety of contexts. It is a collaborative effort between Harvard's [Center for Research on Computation and Society](http://crcs.seas.harvard.edu/), [Institute for Quantitative Social Science](http://iq.harvard.edu/), [Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society](http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/), and [Data Privacy Lab](http://dataprivacylab.org/), and MIT Libraries' [Program on Information Science.](http://informatics.mit.edu/)

 The project receives funding from the [National Science Foundation](https://www.nsf.gov/), the [Sloan Foundation](http://www.sloan.org/), the [US Bureau of the Census](http://www.census.gov/), and [Google](http://research.google.com/university/relations/focused_research_awards.html).
