This award provides participant travel support for a two-day conference for undergraduate women in physics that focuses on the critical transition from undergraduate to graduate study. On January 13-14, 2007 the University of Southern California will host the Second Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics. The conferences overarching aim is to give young women the confidence, motivation and resources to apply to graduate school and successfully complete a PhD. Specifically, the conference objectives are that participants leave with increased awareness of current research and career options in physics, greater familiarity with the graduate school experience, resources for applying to and being successful in graduate school as well as general resources for women in physics, and a network of women in physics. The two-day event will bring together female undergraduate students in physics to learn about current research and career opportunities in physics, the graduate school application process and experience, and resources for women in physics. Additionally they will have the opportunity to present original research, discuss physics topics with other students, and meet women faculty who have successful physics careers. The conference techniques and results will be widely disseminated. A conference report will be sent to physics departments and administrators at other universities, the APS Committee on the Status of Women in Physics, politicians involved in education and budget decisions on the state and federal levels, and the NSF.Sharing the details of the conference will remind the recipients of the need for greater representation of women and other underrepresented groups in the sciences and provide them with a model of successful ways to work toward this goal. This award is funded by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate.

该奖项为为期两天的物理学本科女性会议提供参与者旅行支持，该会议侧重于从本科到研究生学习的关键过渡。2007年1月13日至14日，南加州大学将主办第二届物理学女本科生会议。会议的总体目标是让年轻女性有信心，动力和资源申请研究生院并成功完成博士学位。具体来说，会议的目标是，与会者离开时对物理学目前的研究和职业选择有更多的认识，更熟悉研究生院的经验，申请并成功进入研究生院的资源，以及物理学女性的一般资源，以及物理学女性网络。为期两天的活动将汇集物理学的女本科生，了解物理学目前的研究和职业机会，研究生院的申请过程和经验，以及物理学女性的资源。此外，他们将有机会展示原创研究，与其他学生讨论物理学主题，并会见那些拥有成功物理学职业生涯的女教师。会议的技术和成果将广泛传播。一份会议报告将发送给其他大学的物理系和管理人员、APS物理学妇女地位委员会、参与州和联邦各级教育和预算决策的政治家，分享会议的细节将提醒受援国需要更多的妇女和其他代表性不足的群体在科学领域的代表性，并为他们提供一个模式，成功的方法来实现这一目标。该奖项由数学和物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室资助。
