Bill > S1839

This bill aims to coordinate federal research and development efforts to modernize mathematics education in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields through mathematical and statistical modeling. It provides grants to institutions of higher education and non-profit organizations to support research and development on innovative approaches to high-quality mathematical modeling education, including statistical problem-solving, data science, operations research, and computational thinking. The bill also requires a study by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on factors that enhance or hinder the implementation of mathematical and statistical modeling in elementary and secondary education, as well as recommendations to modernize these processes.
