Each year, the individuals and organizations in the U.S. organ
donation, procurement, allocation, and distribution system work
together to provide transplants to many thousands of people, but
thousands more die before getting a transplant due to the ongoing
shortage of deceased donor organs and inequitable access to
transplant waiting lists. Realizing the Promise of Equity in the
Organ Transplantation System, a new consensus study report from the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine?s
Committee on A Fairer and More Equitable, Cost-Effective, and
Transparent System of Donor Organ Procurement, Allocation, and
Distribution, provides expert recommendations to improve fairness,
equity, transparency, and cost-effectiveness in the donor organ
system. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1 Introduction and

Biographical Sketches of Committee Members and Staff
The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign
conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments,
the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general
challenges of military life affect not only service members but
also the people who depend on them and who support them as they
support the nation ? their families. Family members provide support
to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties;
family problems can interfere with the ability of service members
to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central
influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition,
rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the
difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices
that adequately support families in the performance of military
duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a
Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities
facing military families and what is known about effective
strategies for supporting and protecting military children and
families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences.
This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to
strengthen the support system for military families. Table of
