The period of performance will be for twenty-four (24) months.
The scope of work requires executing the legislative mandate as set forth in Title III (National Science Foundation for the Future), Section 10311 (PreK-12 STEM Education) of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 (Pub.L. 117- 167). NSF intends to award this requirement as a sole source contract to NAS. The services sought are those necessary to meet the requirements stated in Section 10311 of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. Specifically, NSF will enter into an agreement with the National Academies whereby the Academies will conduct a study that reviews and identifies specified gaps in the research literature; present a compendium of specified findings;
identify barriers to implementing specified innovations; and make recommendations to specified organizations and other stakeholders.
A Request for Information has not been published via SAM.gov as the legislative mandate precludes such action.
