This award is to provide support to a workshop entitled "GENDER EQUITY: STRENGTHENING THE PHYSICS ENTERPRISE IN UNIVERSITIES AND NATIONAL LABORATORIES" to be held by the Committee on the Status of Women in Physics (CSWP) of the American Physical Society (APS). The workshop will be held at the APS headquarters in College Park, MD for two days on May 6-8, 2007. Three main topics will be addressed: 1) the current status of women in physics and gender related issues; 2) recommendation and implementation of best practices to attract, hire, retain and increase faculty and scientists in physics; and 3) recommendation and implementation of best practices to recruit, retain, mentor and educate students that represent the next generation. The gender gap in Physics Departments and Physics Divisions of National Laboratories is a serious concern, since despite recent progress the percentage of women in physics remains quite low. Their representation at various stages of the academic ladder constitutes about 5% of full professors, 11% of associate professors, and 16% of assistant professors (national average). The workshop will be a forum for presentations, panel discussions and break out sessions. All of these formats will involve participants from universities, national laboratories as well as leaders from the APS, NSF and DOE, to confront and propose solutions to these issues. The workshop will highlight the need for a larger technically trained workforce and physicists in particular, especially in the present era where continued advancements in science are closely coupled to national security and a strong economy and it is critical to broaden the participation and assure contributions from the entire available pool of talent. This award is co-funded by the Divisions of Physics and Materials Research and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate.

该奖项旨在支持美国物理学会妇女物理学地位委员会举办的题为“性别平等：加强大学和实验室的物理学事业”的讲习班。 研讨会将于2007年5月6日至8日在马里兰州大学公园的APS总部举行，为期两天。 将讨论三个主要议题：1）妇女在物理学和性别相关问题的现状; 2）建议和实施最佳做法，以吸引，雇用，保留和增加教师和科学家在物理学;和3）建议和实施最佳做法，以招聘，保留，指导和教育学生，代表下一代。 国家实验室物理系和物理系的性别差距令人严重关切，因为尽管最近取得了进展，但从事物理学的妇女比例仍然很低。 他们在学术阶梯的各个阶段的代表性约占正教授的5%，副教授的11%和助理教授的16%（全国平均水平）。 研讨会将是一个论坛，用于介绍，小组讨论和分组会议。 所有这些形式都将涉及来自大学，国家实验室以及APS，NSF和DOE领导人的参与者，以面对这些问题并提出解决方案。 该研讨会将强调需要更大的技术培训的劳动力，特别是物理学家，特别是在当今时代，科学的持续进步与国家安全和强大的经济密切相关，扩大参与并确保整个可用人才库的贡献至关重要。 该奖项由物理和材料研究部门以及数学和物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室共同资助。
