This EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) will advance the national health and security by addressing the supply chains that allow human trafficking to function effectively. Human trafficking is one of the top revenue generators for illicit traders and has devastating effects on its victims, many of which are U.S. citizens. By aiding the detection and disruption of the social, financial, and physical networks used by criminal organizations that traffic individuals, this research will help to limit their operations and funding, thereby enhancing national security. Combating human trafficking will also have a positive impact on the lives of many youth, particularly females. The research outcomes will significantly advance the state of the art in social science and operations research. Insights from the research will be included in classes on operations research, human trafficking, illicit trade and transnational crime included in the programs of both the Schar School of Policy and Government and the Volgenau School of Engineering at George Mason University. This research will use a multi-layered network approach that provides a systematic way to incorporate different types of data sources and multidisciplinary models into a holistic approach. The project combines social science methods with operations research methods to develop quantitative models that describe the complex operations of trafficking networks. The first phase will include analysis of existing and available data on human trafficking supply chains, transport logistics and financial transactions. To improve the detection of human trafficking, a new paradigm that enables the analysis of these multiple overlapping networks will be developed. The analysis of data on available human trafficking cases will be published on the website of the Transnational Crime and Corruption Center at George Mason University and widely disseminated within the larger community of government, business and policy makers concerned with supply chains, human trafficking and illicit trade.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

EARLY概念探索性研究补助金（EAGER）将通过解决允许人口贩运有效运作的供应链来促进国家健康和安全。 人口贩运是非法交易者的最大收入来源之一，对受害者造成了毁灭性的影响，其中许多人是美国公民。 通过协助侦查和破坏贩运人口的犯罪组织所使用的社会、金融和物理网络，这项研究将有助于限制他们的行动和资金，从而加强国家安全。 打击人口贩运也将对许多青年，特别是女性的生活产生积极影响。研究成果将大大推进社会科学和运筹学的最新发展。从研究的见解将包括在业务研究，人口贩运，非法贸易和跨国犯罪的课程，包括在政策和政府的Schar学院和工程的Volgenau学院在乔治梅森大学。 这项研究将使用多层网络方法，提供一种系统的方法，将不同类型的数据源和多学科模型纳入一个整体的方法。该项目将社会科学方法与业务研究方法相结合，以开发描述贩运网络复杂业务的量化模型。第一阶段将包括分析关于人口贩运供应链、运输物流和金融交易的现有数据。为了更好地侦查人口贩运，将开发一种新的模式，以便能够对这些多重重叠网络进行分析。 对现有人口贩运案件数据的分析将在乔治梅森大学跨国犯罪和腐败中心的网站上公布，并在与供应链有关的政府、企业和决策者的更大范围内广泛传播，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识产权进行评估来支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
