This award supports the United States delegation to the Fourth International Conference of Women in Physics in Stellenbosch, South Africa in April 2011. The purpose of the Stellenbosch conference (ICWIP 2011) is three-fold: (i) to provide an opportunity to view and analyze the current status of and progress in promoting women in physics in each country and internationally; (ii) to provide an arena for women in physics to share their scientific accomplishments and create international scientific collaborations; and (iii) to build capacity in each participating country to design and implement changes that improve the participation and advancement of women in physics. In collaboration with conference organizer Dr. Igle Gledhill at the Center for Science and Industry Research in Pretoria, South Africa, the U.S. delegation will provide support for the conference as well as continue the advancement of women and girls in the U.S. physics enterprise. The series of international conferences on women in physics is proving to be an effective mechanism for sharing best practices internationally, empowering action in numerous countries and regions including the US, nucleating networking in research, strengthening accountability through the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics(IUPAP), and increasing the numbers and advancement of women in the field. The U.S. delegates will be able learn about and take advantage of successful initiatives piloted in ~70 other countries. This award is co-funded by the Division of Physics, the Division of Astronomical Sciences, and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and by the Office of International Science and Engineering.

该奖项支持美国代表团参加2011年4月在南非斯泰伦博斯举行的第四届妇女物理学国际会议。斯泰伦博斯会议（ICWIP 2011）的目的有三个：(i)提供一个机会来观察和分析各国和国际上促进妇女从事物理学的现状和进展；（二）为物理学领域的女性提供一个分享她们的科学成就和建立国际科学合作的舞台；（三）在每个参与国进行能力建设，设计和实施改善妇女在物理学领域参与和进步的变革。美国代表团将与南非比勒陀利亚科学与工业研究中心的会议组织者伊格尔·格莱德希尔博士合作，为会议提供支持，并继续在美国物理学事业中提高妇女和女孩的地位。一系列关于物理学中的女性的国际会议被证明是一个有效的机制，可以在国际上分享最佳实践，授权包括美国在内的许多国家和地区的行动，在研究中建立网络，通过国际纯粹与应用物理学联合会（IUPAP）加强问责制，以及增加妇女在该领域的数量和进步。美国代表将能够学习并利用在其他约70个国家试点的成功倡议。该奖项由物理系、天文科学系、数学和物理科学理事会内的多学科活动办公室以及国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。
