is requesting that OMB control # 1810-0669 be withdrawn because the

year.

Implemented under the No Child Left
Behind Act of 2001, Title II, Part B, the Mathematics and Science
Partnerships (MSP) program is a formula grant program strategically
designed to improve the content knowledge of teachers and the
academic performance of students in mathematics and science. By
funding collaborative partnerships between science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) departments at institutions of
higher education (IHEs), and high-need school districts, the MSP
program enables the delivery of intensive, content-rich
professional development intended to improve classroom instruction
and, ultimately, to raise student achievement in math and science.
Because MSP is a formula grant program, the size of individual
state awards is based on student population and poverty rates, with
no state receiving less than one half of one percent of the total
appropriation. Each state is then responsible for administering a
competitive grant making process to determine the distribution of
funds across proposed MSP projects. The program office is seeking
to renew this collection to allow it to continue to collect Annual
Performance Reports from those grantees that will need to seek a no
cost extension.
This is a reinstatement of
hours since this collection officially expired. There are no
increases in burden hours for the previous collection. The program
office is reinstating this collection to allow it to continue to
collect Annual Performance Reports from those grantees that will
need to seek a no cost extension.
