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.

这个为期五年的奖项将支持美国黑人物理学家协会（NSBP）的春季学生-专业人士联合会议和秋季地区会议。 这次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。 来自美国院校的大约一半的非洲裔美国本科生和研究生参加了这些会议。 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 分会发展。 该系列活动旨在帮助学生从中学过渡到本科工作、研究生工作，并最终成功融入全球物理事业。 该项目由材料研究部、物理部、天文学部、人力资源开发部、多学科活动办公室和地球科学局共同资助。
