This award supports a conference request to hold three simultaneous conferences at the University of Southern California (USC), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Illinois), and Yale. The conferences are aimed at undergraduate women majoring in physics and have several goals: to foster an undergraduate culture in which women are encouraged and supported to pursue and succeed in higher education in physics; to give young women the confidence, motivation, and resources to apply to graduate school and successfully complete a Ph.D. in physics; and to strengthen the network of women in physics nationally. The conference will be modeled after regional conferences in 2008 at Yale, USC, and Michigan, which in turn evolved from two previous national conferences held at USC in 2006 and 2007. This award is supported by the Division of Physics and the Division of Astronomical Sciences.

该奖项支持在南加州大学（USC）、伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校（Illinois）和耶鲁大学同时举行三次会议的会议请求。这些会议的对象是主修物理学的女大学生，有几个目标：培养一种鼓励和支持妇女在物理学高等教育中追求并取得成功的本科文化；给年轻女性信心、动力和资源，让她们申请研究生院并成功完成物理学博士学位；并在全国范围内加强女性物理学网络。2008年在耶鲁大学、南加州大学和密歇根大学举行的地区会议是2006年和2007年在南加州大学举行的两次全国会议的基础上发展而来的。该奖项由物理部和天文科学部资助。
