This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) Project Grant awarded to the Regents of the University of Michigan in the amount of $574,681 will support research on informed, fair, efficient, and incentive-aware group decision making. The project aims to develop new models, mechanisms, and methods that can incentivize individuals to ensure group decisions achieve desired outcomes, particularly in fast-paced and increasingly online environments. Key focus areas include representing agents' subjective and objective preferences, information, and responses; introducing novel efficiency and fairness criteria; and addressing agents' incentives through new equilibrium concepts and incentive-aware mechanisms. The research will be validated and refined through deployments on the Open-source Preference Reporting and Aggregation (OPRA) system and will have cross-institutional, educational, and societal impacts, including broadening participation of underrepresented groups in computing research.
