We don't reinvent wheels, we find the best ones — and roll.

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.

We do this through our approach of Scale Philanthropy and Public-Private Partnerships.
