Both nationally and internationally, women are seriously under-represented in physics andin other fields, such as engineering, for which physics knowledge is an essential prerequisite. The nature and magnitude of the problem varies from country to country, with some doing considerably better and others doing considerably worse than the United States. However, there is remarkable consistency in one sobering pattern: the percentage of women in physics in all countries decreases markedly with each step up the academic ladder and with each level of promotion in industrial and government laboratories. In 1999, the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) chartered a new Working Group on Women in Physics to understand this problem and propose solutions. In 2002 with support from NSF and other sponsors, this IUPAP Working Group completed an international benchmarking effort to learn about the status and trends relating to women in physics internationally, and held the first International Conference on Women in Physics in Paris, France. More than 300 physicists--85% of them women--from more than 60 countries participated in the Conference. The Conference Proceedings, Women in Physics (Hartline and Li, 2002), was published. This award supports the participation of US physicists in the Second International Conference on Women in Physics, organized by the IUPAP Working Group, to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in May 2005. Teams from participating countries will contribute posters and papers describing their progress along with their most significant remaining challenges and hurdles. In addition individual women physicists from around the world will have an opportunity to present a poster and abstract of their own research to foster broader impacts including broadening participation and international networking. The publication and dissemination of the Conference Proceedings will also be supported. This award is funded by the Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Science's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities.

无论是在国内还是在国际上，妇女在物理学和其他领域，如工程学中的代表性都严重不足，而物理学知识是这些领域的一个基本先决条件。这个问题的性质和严重程度因国家而异，有些国家做得比美国好得多，有些国家做得比美国差得多。然而，在一个发人深省的模式中存在着惊人的一致性：在所有国家，随着学术阶梯的每一步上升以及工业和政府实验室的每一级晋升，物理学领域的女性比例都明显下降。1999年，国际理论和应用物理学联合会（理论和应用物理学联合会）特许成立了一个新的妇女参与物理学工作组，以了解这一问题并提出解决办法。2002年，在国家科学基金会和其他赞助者的支持下，国际理论和应用物理学联合会工作组完成了一项国际基准制定工作，以了解国际上与物理学领域妇女有关的现状和趋势，并在法国巴黎举行了第一次国际物理学领域妇女会议。来自60多个国家的300多名物理学家-其中85%是妇女-参加了会议。出版了会议记录《物理学中的妇女》（Hartline和Li，2002年）。该奖项支持美国物理学家参加将于2005年5月在巴西里约热内卢举行的由国际理论和应用物理学联合会工作组组织的第二届国际物理学领域妇女会议。来自参与国家的团队将提供海报和论文，沿着描述他们的进展以及剩余的最重大挑战和障碍。此外，来自世界各地的女物理学家将有机会展示自己研究的海报和摘要，以促进更广泛的影响，包括扩大参与和国际网络。会议记录的出版和传播也将得到支持。该奖项由数学和物理科学多学科活动办公室主任资助。
