Abstract: The Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) is a White House program established by Congress in 1983 authorizing the President to bestow up to 108 awards each year to teachers of mathematics and science at the elementary and secondary levels. The National Science Foundation administers this program on behalf of the White House, and this request seeks OMB approval to collect information from individuals who act as State Coordinators for the PAEMST Program. State Coordinators administer their state’s efforts in coordinating outreach for state nominations, in addition to mentoring and assisting teachers in the application process for the PAEMST.
