This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Directorate (CFDA 47.041) provides $450,133 to Northwestern University to develop methods for efficiently matching traveling and part-time nurses to vacant hospital shifts using online platforms. The three-year project will incorporate factors like nurse availability, preferences, and no-shows, as well as equity considerations, into complex optimization models to improve shift matching policies and alleviate nurse shortages. The research will create new academic-industry collaboration channels and provide real-world experiences for graduate and undergraduate students to address this important societal issue. The outcomes from this project will also be applicable to improving the efficiency of online platforms in the broader service economy.
