This award supports travel to the International WYP 2005 Physics Young Ambassador Symposium in Taipei from December 31, 2005 to January 4, 2006. As part of the World Year of Physics 2005 (WYP 2005), thousands of pre-college students in at least 20 countries on five continents participated in the Physics Talent Search. The major goal of the Talent Search is to create enthusiasm, interest, and participation in physics among young people (and their families). Students between the ages of 10 and 18 engaged in numerous activities involving physics, its applications, or its societal interface. Most of the activities emphasize student creativity, curiosity, and initiative. In most countries, a large cadre of volunteer physicists interacted with the students, providing encouragement and evaluating their efforts In each country in each age group, the top girl(s) and boy(s) (in equal numbers) are being selected as "International WYP2005 Physics Young Ambassadors." Each country participating in the Physics Talent Search has been invited to identify and send six Young Ambassadors (three girls and three boys) and one adult leader to participate in this international science conference. The Symposium's timing symbolically "rings out" WYP 2005 and its celebration of a century of physics. Nobel Laureates and other leading scientists with diverse national, racial, and gender demographics are being invited to participate as speakers, inspirational mentors, and role models for the students. Broad dissemination is planned beyond the physics and education communities. This award is funded by the Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences' Office of Multidisciplinary Activities and Divisions of Physics and Materials Research and by the Office of International Science and Engineering.

该奖项将资助参加2005年12月31日至2006年1月4日在台北举行的国际物理青年大使研讨会。作为2005年世界物理年（WYP 2005）的一部分，来自五大洲至少20个国家的数千名大学预科学生参加了物理人才搜索。人才搜索的主要目标是在年轻人（及其家人）中创造热情，兴趣和参与物理学。年龄在10到18岁之间的学生参与了许多涉及物理学，其应用或其社会界面的活动。大多数活动强调学生的创造力，好奇心和主动性。在大多数国家，一大批物理学家志愿者与学生互动，鼓励并评估他们的努力。在每个国家的每个年龄组，最优秀的女孩和男孩（人数相等）将被选为“国际WYP2005物理青年大使”。“每个参加物理学人才搜索的国家都被邀请确定并派遣六名青年大使（三名女孩和三名男孩）和一名成年领导人参加这次国际科学会议。研讨会的时间象征性地“敲响”2005年世界青年计划和庆祝物理学的世纪。诺贝尔奖获得者和其他具有不同国家，种族和性别人口统计的领先科学家被邀请作为演讲者，鼓舞人心的导师和学生的榜样参加。计划在物理和教育界以外进行广泛传播。该奖项由数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室和物理与材料研究部门以及国际科学与工程办公室资助。
