The Planning Grants for Engineering Research Centers competition was run as a pilot solicitation within the ERC program. Planning grants are not required as part of the full ERC competition, but intended to build capacity among teams to plan for convergent, center-scale engineering research.The sharing economy can be characterized as a system of dynamic decentralized networks that enables the increased utilization of assets by directly and nimbly matching supply and demand. It is forecasted to grow from $14 billion in 2014 to $335 billion by 2025. Technology has enabled these new platforms to flourish, disrupting traditional businesses and transforming the future of transportation, lodging, computing, energy, and other services. The estimated impact of sharing economy practices on society is striking, directly affecting the lives of more than a quarter of the adults living in the USA. However, the rapid pace of change of new sharing economy technology and practices has resulted in limited understanding of the dynamic interactions of these platforms with the society. The lag in understanding is dangerous as disruptive changes continue to accelerate. Further, while new technology alters the dynamic interactions in how services are provided and distributed, fair and appropriate regulations of the multiple emerging new ways of providing services has not kept up and adapted. SHARE's Vision is a world in which sharing economy platforms are intentionally engineered for socially desirable outcomes considering their long-term sustainability, cyber-security, resource usage efficiency, impact on the environment, workforce and community relations, interactions with public services, and value-creation. SHARE multidisciplinary team of researchers will take the first step toward enabling this convergent vision of a future economy; together with stakeholders, they will not only define the research challenges that will eventually underlie a unified framework for the sharing economy, but also develop the educational programming that must accompany the research to ensure the workforce is in place now and going forward in this key area. SHARE?s Mission is to maximize the positive impact of the sharing economy through integrated comprehensive, trans-disciplinary research that will document and explore changing dynamics, develop new technologies and algorithms for optimizing design, operation, incentives, and security, and identify and compare regulatory and data sharing practices that influence the real-world implementation of sharing economy platforms. We will organize a multi-disciplinary workshop to start what we believe is one of the first convergent dialogues on the sharing economy, to ultimately build a trans-disciplinary research team and a diverse stakeholder community that can synthesize the outcomes of the workshop into meaningful applied focus areas with significant societal impact and sound fundamental research thrusts. The proposed workshop will be formally documented via a report, which will serve as a roadmap for future efforts in this area by the investigators and other researchers.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.

工程研究中心规划拨款竞赛是ERC项目的试点征集。规划补助金不需要作为ERC竞赛的一部分，但它旨在在团队之间建立能力，以规划聚合的、中心规模的工程研究。共享经济可以被描述为一个动态的分散网络系统，通过直接和灵活地匹配供需，可以提高资产的利用率。预计到2025年，这一数字将从2014年的140亿美元增长到3350亿美元。科技使这些新平台蓬勃发展，颠覆了传统商业，改变了交通、住宿、计算、能源和其他服务的未来。据估计，共享经济对社会的影响是惊人的，直接影响到美国超过四分之一的成年人的生活。然而，新共享经济技术和实践的快速变化导致人们对这些平台与社会的动态互动的理解有限。在破坏性变革继续加速之际，理解上的滞后是危险的。此外，虽然新技术改变了如何提供和分配服务的动态相互作用，但对多种新出现的提供服务方式的公平和适当的规定却没有跟上和适应。SHARE的愿景是，考虑到共享经济平台的长期可持续性、网络安全、资源使用效率、对环境的影响、劳动力和社区关系、与公共服务的互动以及价值创造，有意设计共享经济平台，以实现社会期望的结果。SHARE多学科研究团队将为实现未来经济的融合愿景迈出第一步；与利益相关者一起，他们不仅要确定最终将成为共享经济统一框架基础的研究挑战，还要制定必须伴随研究的教育计划，以确保劳动力现在到位，并在这一关键领域向前发展。分享吗?其使命是通过综合、全面、跨学科的研究来最大限度地发挥共享经济的积极影响，这些研究将记录和探索不断变化的动态，开发优化设计、运营、激励和安全的新技术和算法，并确定和比较影响共享经济平台在现实世界中实施的监管和数据共享实践。我们将组织一个多学科的研讨会，以启动我们认为是共享经济的首批融合对话之一，最终建立一个跨学科的研究团队和一个多元化的利益相关者社区，将研讨会的成果综合到有意义的应用重点领域，具有重大的社会影响和健全的基础研究重点。提议的讲习班将通过一份报告正式记录下来，该报告将作为调查人员和其他研究人员在这一领域未来努力的路线图。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
