Broadening Participation in Physics: Fall Regional Meetings and Spring Annual Conferences of the National Society of Black Physicists

这个为期五年的奖项将支持全国黑人物理学家协会（NSBP）的春季联合学生-专业会议和秋季区域会议。春季会议被称为全国黑人物理学家和黑人物理学生协会（ACBPS）年会。ACBPS是世界上最大的非裔美国物理学家聚会。大约一半来自美国院校的本科生和研究生非裔美国学生参加了这些会议。目标是在专业物理学家和学生之间建立有效的师徒关系。秋季会议的重点是学术成就、领导技能和NSBP分会的发展。收集活动的目的是帮助学生从中学过渡，通过本科工作，研究生工作，并最终成功融入全球物理事业。该项目由材料研究司、物理司、天文司、人力资源开发司、多学科活动办公室和地球科学理事会共同资助。

This five-year award will support Spring Joint Student-Professional, and Fall Regional Conferences of the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP). The Spring meeting is known as the Annual Conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and Black Physics Students (ACBPS). The ACBPS is the largest gathering of African American physicists anywhere in the world. Roughly half of the undergraduate and graduate African-American students from US institutions attend these meetings. The objective is the development of effective mentor-protege relationships between professional physicists and students. The emphasis of the Fall meetings is on academic achievement, leadership skills, and NSBP chapter development. The collection of activities is intended to assist the transition of students from secondary school, through undergraduate work, graduate work, and ultimately to successful integration into the global physics enterprise. The project is co-funded by the Division of Materials Research, the Physics Division, the Division of Astronomy, the Division of Human Resource Development, the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, and the Geosciences Directorate.
