Evidence log
- 2023-09-07 — Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act: The introduced Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act proposes NSF competitive grants and a National Academies study to improve K–12 mathematical, statistical, and data science modeling education, overlapping prior entries without establishing enactment or available funding. (novelty: 2)
- 2024-09-24 — Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act: The finding adds that the House-passed Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act would authorize NSF competitive grants for K–12 mathematical and statistical modeling education through 2028 and require a National Academies study on curriculum improvements, without establishing enactment or grant availability. (novelty: 3)
- 2021-05-26 — Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act: The introduction-stage finding on the Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act describes proposed NSF competitive research and development grants and a National Academies study for public K–12 modeling education, overlapping the existing House-passage entry without establishing enactment or grant availability. (novelty: 2)
- 2022-07-27 — Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act: The House-passed Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act would require NSF competitive research grants to colleges and nonprofits to improve K–12 mathematical modeling, data science, and computational thinking education and authorize a National Academies study; the finding does not establish enactment or grant availability. (novelty: 2)
- 2026-04-14 — Biotechnology for All High School Students Act: cross-connection with biotechnology-for-all-high-school-students-act: Bill would add biotechnology as a targeted domain within the broader K-12 STEM education portfolio. (novelty: 2)
- 2006-07-19 — American Innovation and Competitiveness Act of 2006: S.2802 (109th Congress), the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act of 2006, would have directed elementary and middle schools to observe Math and Science Days as part of a broader federal STEM-outreach push; the bill was placed on the Senate calendar and did not become law.
