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.

这个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巧。这些讲习班以提高化学领域妇女地位委员会（提高妇女地位委员会）发起的讲习班为蓝本，是以前一系列讲习班的延续，这些讲习班力求解决从本科生到正教授再到该领域杰出领导角色的各级物理学领域妇女人数不足的问题。该奖项将使最初的研讨会得以延续，并提供两个新的方面：1)在专业技能发展研讨会上招收女性博士后；2)专门针对有色人种女性，让她们参加所有的研讨会。该项目的目标是继续为女性物理学家提供工具，使她们在当前环境中取得成功和进步。为激励下一代，在高层树立榜样尤为重要。这项活动由数学和物理科学理事会物理司和材料研究司供资。
