Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) could support the privacy-preserving access and sharing of sensitive medical data to support biopharmaceutical innovation and to train AI models used in drug development. The legislation would mandate NSF to support research into PETs and would direct OSTP to coordinate efforts with other federal agencies to accelerate their development, deployment, and adoption.
