The Team Grand Award winners were Stephanie Galanie and Diane Mattingly.  Their project was titled "Make me a Match."  {KR Systems} Miss Galanie and Miss Mattingly’s project, “Make Me a Match”, was a team entry involving the optimization of kidney donor-recipient pairs.  Their project involved conducting research into current organ donor programs to understand how patients are assigned priority on the waiting list and how donor-recipient pairs are matched.  Then they applied mathematical models to optimize the pair matching and wrote computer code in Visual Basic and Java to run an optimization program for a large population.  If further developed and put into actual use, their optimization program could increase successful donor-recipient pairs and significantly reduce the waiting list for kidney transplant.
