The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded the University of Massachusetts a $599,785 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program. The award, effective September 15, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will support research on sequential fair allocation mechanisms for distributing resources in markets without money. The research team will examine how simple, sequential allocation algorithms can offer fairness and efficiency guarantees for practical applications such as assigning conference paper reviewers, work shifts, and university course seats. The project will involve collaborations with platforms like OpenReview, academic conference organizers, and university administrators to test and implement the research findings. This award aligns with NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and technological innovation through investigator-initiated research projects in computing and information science.
