History of the U.S. National Science Foundation

The section "NSF's history and impacts: A brief timeline" mentions some accomplishments decade by decade, including this for the 2010's
2010
"NSF-supported researchers use economic matching theory to develop a kidney exchange program that dramatically improves efficiency and doctors' ability to match organs. For his work in this area, Alvin Roth shares the 2012 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences."
