MSP Overview Math/Science Partnerships is a formula grant
that is authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
Formula grant programs are noncompetitive awards based on a predetermined formula established by statute.
As long as Congress appropriates funds for Math/Science Partnerships, funds will continue to flow to SEA’s with approved applications.

Math/Science Partnership Overview
States distribute funds ona competitive basis to
partnerships consisting of Arts and Science faculty at an IHE and a “high need” local education agency.
U.S. Department of Education
Program Cycle
Funds are released to the
States through a formula grant
(number of students at
poverty rates).
Congress appropriates
funds for program.
States fund winning project proposals. States submit an
abstract of funded proposals to U.S.
Department of Education .
Projects submit annual/final reports to
U.S. Department of Education within 60
days of cycle completion.

Roles & Responsibilities Program Evaluation
The Federal Government, SEA, and Projects all have a role in collecting program evaluations and data.
Government Performance Reports Act (GPRA) indicators is a government reporting requirement for this program. Teacher Content Knowledge Student Achievement Evaluation Design Efficiency

Fiscal Responsibility
Programs must follow fiscal responsibilites in accordance with their states’ statute. Performance dates (start and end dates). Obligating and drawdown of funds. Allowable costs specific to the state. Fiscal Monitoring Other fiduciary aspects.
![Page 17: Mathematics/Science Partnerships U.S. Department of Education: New Program Grantees](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e105503460f94afb410/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Closing
Considerations: Math/Science Partnerships is a formula
grant given to the State. Get to know your state coordinator and ask questions.
Many projects experience difficulty collecting data.1. Pretest & Posttest your teachers.2. Have a plan to collect relevant student
data.
![Page 18: Mathematics/Science Partnerships U.S. Department of Education: New Program Grantees](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e105503460f94afb410/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Closing
Considerations continued… Remember the dates and deadlines;
1. State-determined start date and end date for your project.
2. You have 60 days after your performance period ends to submit an APR to the Department of Education. Your state may require you to turn in the APR
sooner. All APR’s must be completed using the On-line
reporting system.
![Page 19: Mathematics/Science Partnerships U.S. Department of Education: New Program Grantees](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e105503460f94afb410/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Closing Considerations continued…
Base your PD on the needs assessment of the LEA or School.
Have a thoughtful recruiting process. Think about the teachers that would most
benefit from the PD. Then think about how to get those teachers
in the program. Make sure all partners are committed to
getting these teachers the PD they need; including the building principal.
