Last week, PIs Zubair Shafiq and Athina Markopoulou, and Co-PI Gene Tsudik were awarded a Noyce Initiative UC Partnerships in Computational Transformation grant.

This program aims to award faculty from five of the University of California campuses – Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Santa Barbara, and San Francisco- funds to advance novel and innovative cross-discipline and cross-campus computational research that fit within three themes. Themes for the 2022 Call for Proposals were: (1) Addressing the Next Generation of Business and Societal Challenges: Cybersecurity, (2) Transforming Healthcare: Computational Precision Health, and (3) Accelerating Scientific Discovery: The Promise of Quantum Computing.

The collaborative proposals submitted by ProperData PIs, titled “Auditing Compliance of Data Privacy Laws in California” was one of 6 selected for funding following a comprehensive peer review process of members of the partnership institutions and program Institutional Leadership team.

Congratulations to our PIs for being awarded for their innovative research proposal!
