The Operations Engineering (OE) program supports fundamental research on advanced analytical methods for improving operations in complex decision-driven environments. The program welcomes proposals that leverage application-specific expertise with strong quantitative analysis in a decision-making context, particularly in domains such as commercial enterprises, public sector/government, and public/private partnerships. Key areas of interest include deterministic and stochastic modeling, optimization, decision and risk analysis, data science, and simulation. • The program encourages methodological research motivated by problems with high potential impact in engineering applications. • Proposals should demonstrate a strong connection between the proposed research and potential engineering applications. • The program values cross-disciplinary proposals that combine application-specific expertise with quantitative analysis. • The program is interested in operations research in new and emerging domains, addressing systemic societal or technological problems.
