The Department of Education Math and Science Partnerships (MSP) program gives out grants that support partnerships between the mathematics, science, and/or engineering faculty of institutions of higher education and high-need K-12 school districts. Other partners may include schools of education, business, and nonprofit organizations. The program’s goal is to increase student achievement through increasing teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogical skills.

The MSP is a formula grant program to the states. Each state administers a competitive grants program, monitors their grantees’ progress, and documents their effectiveness, working with the Department of Education.

As a resource, the MSP program maintains a comprehensive archive of websites and programs created around the grants, search-able by location.
