Authorizes the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund research, development, grants, and partnerships to strengthen K–12 mathematical and statistical modeling education — including teacher preparation, curriculum development, and school/community partnerships — and requires evaluation and reporting of award outcomes. It also directs an independent study (via the National Academies or similar body) on how modeling can be taught across pre-K–12, requires a public meeting and a report to the NSF Director, Secretary of Education, and Congress, and sets limited authorization levels for both activities for FY2026–2030. Funding must come from amounts appropriated to the Foundation, and the authority to make awards under the Act ends on September 30, 2029.
