GINEERING. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that the Founda-
tion’s investments in social, behavioral, and economic re-
search have addressed challenges, including— 
(1) in medicine, matching organ donors to pa-
tients, leading to a dramatic growth in paired kidney

(2) in policing, implementing predictive models 
that help to yield significant reductions in crime; 
(3) in resource allocation, developing the theo-

(5) in national defense, assisting United States
