Professional Skills Development Workshops for Women in Physics

这一奖项是为了表彰由美国物理学会组织和举办的一系列研讨会，旨在提高女性物理学家的沟通和谈判技能。这些讲习班仿照提高妇女在化学领域的地位委员会(COACH)发起的讲习班，是先前一系列讲习班的延续，这些讲习班试图解决从本科生到全职教授以及在该领域担任重要领导职务的各级物理学中妇女代表性不足的问题。这一奖项将使最初的讲习班得以继续，并提供两个新的方面：1)将女性博士后研究员纳入专业技能发展讲习班，2)将有色人种妇女纳入所有讲习班。该计划的目标是继续为女性物理学家提供工具，使她们能够在当前环境中取得成功和进步。为了激励下一代，在高层建立榜样尤为重要。这项活动由数学和物理科学局的物理司和材料研究司提供资金。

This award is for a series of workshops to be organized and held by the American Physical Society aimed at improving the communication and negotiation skills of female physicists. These workshops, modeled on ones initiated by the Committee on the Advancement of Women in Chemistry (COACh), are a continuation of a previous series of workshops which have sought to address the under representation of women in physics at all levels from undergraduate students to full professors and on into prominent leadership roles in the field. This award will allow the continuation of the initial workshops and also offers two new aspects: 1) to include female postdoctoral fellows for the professional skills development workshops and 2) to specifically target women of color to be included in all workshops. The object of the program is to continue to give tools to women physicists that will best allow them to succeed and advance in the current environment. Building role models at the senior levels is especially important in order to inspire the next generation. This activity is funded through both the Division of Physics and the Division of Materials Research in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
