The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering the Math and Science Partnership (MSP) Grant, a major research and development initiative. This grant is designed to support innovative partnerships aimed at improving K-12 student achievement in mathematics and science, while significantly reducing existing achievement gaps across diverse student populations. MSP projects are expected to generate evidence-based models that contribute to mathematics and science education knowledge and serve as replicable models for wider practice. The program seeks to fund five award types: Targeted Partnerships, Institute Partnerships, MSP-Start Partnerships for new awardees, Phase II Partnerships for continuing successful work, and Research, Evaluation and Technical Assistance (RETA) projects to study impacts or provide support. This grant fosters advancements in national math and science education outcomes.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | *Organization Limit: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: – Lead institution eligibility for any of the Partnership categories – Targeted, Institute, MSP-Start or Phase II – is limited to an institution of higher education or an eligible non-profit organization (or consortia of such institutions or organizations). A non-profit organization eligible to serve as a lead institution for a Partnership project is defined as a non-profit research institute, or a non-profit professional association, with demonstrated experience and effectiveness in mathematics or science education (National Science Foundation Act of 2002, Public Law 107-368). Eligibility for Research, Evaluation and Technical Assistance (RETA) projects is open to all categories of proposers identified in the NSF Grant Proposal Guide. Any proposal to the MSP Program should be a single submission that includes support for all partners that are requesting funding from NSF. *PI Limit:There is no eligibility requirement for the Principal Investigator of a proposal for any of the Partnership categories. Among the team of the Principal Investigator and co-Principal Investigators, there must be: <ul><li>at least one mathematician, scientist or engineer who is a college/university faculty member with a regular appointment in a disciplinary unit of a core partner institution of higher education and with a history of publishing in the discipline (not only education of the discipline), AND</li><li>at least one who is a representative from a core partner K-12 organization.</li></ul> |

| Description: | The Math and Science Partnership (MSP) program is a major research and development effort that supports innovative partnerships to improve K-12 student achievement in mathematics and science. MSP projects are expected to raise the achievement levels of all students and significantly reduce achievement gaps in the mathematics and science performance of diverse student populations. In order to improve the mathematics and science achievement of the Nation’s students, MSP projects contribute to what is known in mathematics and science education and serve as models that have a sufficiently strong evidence/research base to improve the mathematics and science education outcomes for all students. NSF’s MSP program coordinates its effort with programs of the U.S. Department of Education in the expectation that effective innovations in mathematics and science education will be disseminated into wider practice. Through this solicitation, NSF seeks to support five types of awards:Targeted Partnerships focus on studying and solving teaching and learning issues within a specific grade range or at a critical juncture in education, and/or within a specific disciplinary focus in mathematics or the sciences;Institute Partnerships – Teacher Institutes for the 21st Century focus on meeting national needs for teacher leaders/master teachers who have deep knowledge of disciplinary content for teaching and are fully prepared to be school- or district-based intellectual leaders in mathematics or the sciences;MSP-Start Partnerships are for awardees new to the MSP program, especially from minority-serving institutions, community colleges and primarily undergraduate institutions, to support the necessary data analysis, project design, evaluation and team building activities needed to develop a full MSP Targeted or Institute Partnership;Phase II Partnerships are for prior NSF MSP Partnership awardees to continue implementation on specific innovative areas of their work where evidence of the potential for significant positive impact is clearly documented. The intent is that there will be focused efforts to carry out the necessary research to advance knowledge and understanding in the specific area(s); andResearch, Evaluation and Technical Assistance (RETA) projects (a) study the relationships among MSP activities and student learning using theoretically informed, methodologically rigorous methods; (b) develop and validate instruments of teacher or student knowledge that MSPs and others can use to assess the impact of their work, or (c) provide technical assistance to MSP projects to help them rigorously evaluate their work. |
