ICO Launches New Grants Programme
The Information Commissioners Officer (ICO) has announced its latest Grants Programme, which aims to promote good practice to support independent, innovative research and solutions focused on privacy and data protection issues.
The ICO grants programme invites organisations to bid for funding to support independent research into privacy and data protection issues and develop privacy enhancing solutions.
The objectives of the Grants Programme are to:
• support and encourage research and privacy enhancing solutions in significant areas of data protection risk, focused on projects that will make a real difference to the UK public;
• increase awareness of privacy enhancing solutions with data controllers across the UK;
• improve understanding of how individuals view privacy issues, interactions with new technologies and promote better public awareness;
• promote uptake and application of research results by relevant stakeholders, including policy makers; and
develop existing privacy research capacity in academic and not-for-profit sectors.
The programme is open to academic institutions, civil society groups, trade and industry associations and organisations with a genuine commitment to public benefit outcomes. A number of awards will be made each year of between £20,000 and £100,000.
Proposals do not need to be technology based but must have practical application and provide real world solutions for the UK public and organisations.
