This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site provides a diverse group of promising students with a summer research experience in order to foster their intellectual growth as scientists and provide a stepping stone to a rewarding career at the intersection of social sciences and information technology, with a focus on incentive-centered design (ICD), an approach to designing systems in a way that aligns individual incentives with system goals. Students will participate in research projects in several areas of ICD, including the design and implementation of trading agents for complex automated markets, behavioral experiments to understand the factors that motivate human behavior and test incentive mechanisms, the use of social motivators to promote healthy behaviors, and the analysis of strategic properties of all-pay auctions and crowdsourcing contests. REU students are fully integrated into a research group that matches their intellectual interests and work as independently as possible with faculty mentors who excel in supervising undergraduate research. Broader Impact: This program aims to attract a diverse group of students to the newly emerging interdisciplinary field of incentive-centered design, thereby expanding the pool of students interested in research careers across multiple disciplines. The research work will be augmented by an extensive array of other educational and collegial activities that will allow students to view their research experience in a broader context, build a network of professional contacts, and develop professional skills in a scientific environment.

这项针对本科生（REU）网站的研究经验为夏季研究经验提供了多样的有前途的学生，以促进他们作为科学家的智力成长，并为社会科学和信息技术的交汇处提供一个有益的职业的垫脚石，重点是奖励中心设计（ICD）（ICD），在某种程度上以某种方式设计系统的目标，以与系统的目标进行设计。学生将参加ICD多个领域的研究项目，包括为复杂的自动化市场的贸易代理设计和实施，行为实验，以了解激励人类行为和测试激励机制的因素，使用社会激励因素促进健康行为以及对全付费拍卖的战略性和群众竞赛的分析。 REU学生完全融入了一个研究小组，该研究小组与他们的智力兴趣相匹配，并与在监督本科研究方面表现出色的教师导师尽可能独立地工作。更广泛的影响：该计划旨在吸引各种各样的学生进入以激励设计为中心的新兴跨学科领域，从而扩大了对跨多个学科的研究职业感兴趣的学生群。许多其他教育和大学活动将增强研究工作，这些活动将使学生能够在更广泛的背景下查看他们的研究经验，建立专业联系网络，并在科学环境中发展专业技能。
