 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service
National Mathematics and Science Partnerships Act - Requires the Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to establish the following programs of grants to institutions of higher education (or, in some cases, eligible nonprofit institutions), in support of activities relating to elementary and secondary school mathematics and science teaching and education: (1) Mathematics and Science Education Partnerships with local educational agencies; (2) Teacher Research Scholarships in mathematics, science, and engineering; (3) establishment of four multidisciplinary Centers for Research on Learning and Education Improvement; and (4) Robert Noyce Scholarships for teacher recruitment and training, with recipient service commitments.

Requires the Director of NSF to establish a program to expand the National Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology Education Digital Library program to enable timely and continuous dissemination of elementary and secondary science, math, engineering, and technology educational resources, materials, practices, and policies through the Internet and other digital technologies.

Requires the Director of the Office of Science and Technology to convene a conference on improving kindergarten-through-12th grade science, mathematics, and technology education.

Requires the Director of NSF to ensure that any NSF program that awards grants for the establishment of research centers at institutions of higher education after the date of the enactment of this Act: (1) requires every center to offer programs for elementary and secondary mathematics and science teachers and students to increase their understanding of the field in which the center specializes; and (2) uses the quality of a center's proposed precollege education programs as a criterion in determining grant awards.
