SEC. 3. NASEM REPORT ON MATHEMATICAL AND STATIS-
TICAL 
MODELING 
EDUCATION 
IN 
PRE-
KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 12TH GRADE. 
(a) STUDY.—Not later than 180 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the Director shall seek to 
enter into an agreement with the National Academies of 
Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (in this section re-
ferred to as ‘‘NASEM’’) (or if NASEM declines to enter 
into such an agreement, another appropriate entity) under 
which NASEM, or such other appropriate entity, agrees 
to conduct a study on the following: 
(1) Factors that enhance or barriers to the im-
plementation of mathematical modeling and statis-
tical modeling in elementary and secondary edu-
cation, including opportunities for and barriers to 
use modeling to integrate mathematical and statis-
tical ideas across the curriculum, including the fol-
lowing: 
(A) Pathways in mathematical modeling 
and statistical problem solving from kinder-
garten to the workplace so students are able to 
identify opportunities to use their school mathe-
matics and statistics in a variety of jobs and

life situations and so employers can benefit 
from students’ school learning of data science, 
computational thinking, mathematics, statistics, 
and related subjects. 
(B) The role of community-based prob-
lems, service-based learning. and internships for 
connecting students with career preparatory ex-
periences. 
(C) Best practices in problem-, project-, 
performance-based learning and assessment. 
(2) Characteristics of teacher education pro-
grams that successfully prepare teachers to engage 
students in mathematical modeling and statistical 
modeling, as well as gaps and suggestions for build-
ing capacity in the pre-service and in-service teacher 
workforce. 
(3) Mechanisms for communication with stake-
holders, including parents, administrators, and the 
public, to promote understanding and knowledge of 
the value of mathematical modeling and statistical 
modeling in education. 
(b) PUBLIC STAKEHOLDER MEETING.—In the course 
of completing the study described in subsection (a), 
NASEM or such other appropriate entity shall hold not

on the topics of such study. 
(c) REPORT.—The agreement under subsection (a) 
shall require NASEM, or such other appropriate entity, 
not later than 24 months after the effective date of such 
agreement, to submit to the Director, the Secretary of 
Education, and the Congress a report containing the fol-
lowing: 
(1) The results of the study conducted under 
subsection (a). 
(2) Recommendations to modernize the proc-
esses described in subsection (a)(1). 
(3) Recommendations for such legislative and 
administrative action as NASEM, or such other ap-
propriate entity, determines appropriate. 
(d) FUNDING.—From amounts appropriated or oth-
erwise made available for the Directorate for STEM Edu-
cation of the National Science Foundation, the Director 
shall allocate up to $1,000,000 for fiscal year 2026 to 
carry out this section. 
SEC. 4. LIMITATIONS. 
(a) LIMITATION ON FUNDING.—Amounts made avail-
