<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The U.S. National Science Foundation, in partnership with several philanthropic partners including the Walton Family Foundation, invites proposals for the creation of new research networks to support the generation
of high value datasets to advance math learning and education (in Phase I) and establishing a “collaboratory”, a socio-technological platform that prioritizes community-building and capacity-building to sustain collaborative efforts to advance math learning
and education in K-12 (in Phase II).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
