£11m has been awarded to eleven projects by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to further the understanding of trust, identity, privacy and security (TIPS) issues in the digital economy.

The University of Bristol reports one of the eleven projects selected is INTUIT, a study that aims to identify and address fundamental TIPS challenges faced by those living with stigmatised long-term conditions such as HIV in managing their health and interacting with care services, peer support networks, and private organisations.

The project, led by researchers at Northumbria University in collaboration with the University of Bristol, the University of Edinburgh, UCL and City, University of London, will develop innovative digital tools to enable people to manage the secure sharing of their self-generated data with others.
