This NSF grant will support a majority of costs not covered by program income for the 2011 Joint Annual Conference of the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists (NSHP). Minorities are very under-represented in the sciences and particularly in the field of physics, broadly defined. The overarching goal is to increase the number of students who graduate in physics and closely related fields by providing them with an opportunity to participate in a friendly and supportive Conference environment that combines forefront research with an extensive program of professional development. We estimate six hundred participants, three hundred of whom will be students, who, because the Conference is organized by NSBP and NSHP and heavily advertised to their membership, will be predominantly minorities. The Conference will offer extensive opportunities for the attendees to network with their peers to exchange not only scientific knowledge but also the tacit knowledge needed to succeed in the profession of physics. Our target is for the Conference to take place in April 2011, in a venue that will be determined by reasonable hotel cost and proximity to a significant scientific laboratory.

该基金将用于支付2011年全国黑人物理学家协会（NSBP）和全国西班牙裔物理学家协会（NSHP）联合年会的大部分费用。 少数群体在科学领域，特别是在广义的物理学领域的代表性非常不足。总体目标是增加谁在物理学和密切相关的领域毕业的学生人数，为他们提供一个机会，参加一个友好和支持的会议环境，结合前沿研究与专业发展的广泛计划。 我们估计有600名与会者，其中300人将是学生，因为会议是由国家科学和技术研究所和国家科学和技术研究所组织的，并向它们的成员作了大量宣传，他们将主要是少数民族。 会议将为与会者提供广泛的机会，与同行交流不仅是科学知识，而且是在物理专业取得成功所需的隐性知识。我们的目标是在2011年4月举行会议，地点将根据合理的酒店费用和靠近重要的科学实验室来确定。
