Abstract: The information collection is part of a comprehensive evaluation of NSF's Math and Science Partnership (MSP) Program. The evaluation will help identify features within the MSP Program that are worth developing on a large scale; determine what processes influence or interfere with the outcomes; and determine what conditions account for the demonstrated quality and innovativeness of the research and evaluation conducted within the MSP Program. Total number of respondents is 450 and includes MSP grantees' principal investigators, co-principal investigators, project coordinators, and project evaluators.
