The board that oversees the National Science Foundation is hoping that a new study of U.S. math and science education will help make the case for a bigger NSF education budget. The study, commissioned by the National Science Board, comes as the White House has proposed shifting precollege science and math instruction funds from NSF to the Department of Education. But many education researchers say NSF has a better track record on science-based reforms.

Although the study's exact focus is still unclear, board president Warren Washington says he'll be looking for outside education experts who have the political savvy to sell the report's conclusions.
