Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act
Current understanding
The House-passed Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act would require NSF to award competitive research grants to colleges and nonprofits to improve K–12 mathematical and statistical modeling, data science, and computational thinking education. It would also authorize a National Academies study on modeling education; House passage does not itself establish enactment or available grant funding.
Evidence log
- 2023-09-07 — Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act: The finding describes an introduced proposal directing NSF to award competitive grants and commission a National Academies study on K–12 mathematical, statistical, and data science modeling education; it does not establish enactment or available funding and does not supersede the separately documented House-passed version. (novelty: 2)
- 2024-09-24 — Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act: The finding reports House passage of legislation that would authorize NSF competitive grants for K–12 mathematical and statistical modeling education through 2028 and direct a National Academies study on curriculum improvements; House passage does not establish enactment, appropriations, or available grants. (novelty: 3)
- 2021-05-26 — Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act: The introduced bill proposed directing NSF to award competitive research and development grants for mathematical and statistical modeling education in public elementary and secondary schools and commission a National Academies study; this finding documents the proposal, not enactment or available funding.
