The National Mathematics and Science Initiative (NMSI) focuses on recommendations put forth by the National Academies of Science in the 2005 blue-ribbon panel report, “Rising above the Gathering Storm.” 

According to recommendations of a panel of 20 national leaders, the most effective way to enhance science and technology enterprise in the United States is to dramatically improve K-12 math and science education.  To do so, the panel recommends actions to:

• Produce more, and more effective math and science teachers;
• Strengthen the skills of existing teachers through training programs; and
• Enlarge the pipeline of students with the desire and preparation to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics at the undergraduate level and beyond.

NMSI, in conjunction with the UTeach Institute, has awarded $2,400,000 in grants to 13 non-profit institutions of higher education to start UTeach-type programs.  In late 2007, NMSI announced the universities listed below as the winners of the replication grants.
