This award provides funding for the Seventh Annual Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics and the collection and analysis of data on the impact of these meetings on undergraduate women in physics. Six regional conferences will take place January 13-15, 2012, simultaneously at Stanford University, the University of Washington, Texas A&M University, Yale University, the University of Tennessee, and Case Western Reserve University. Data analysis will be centered at Indiana University. The conferences have two overarching goals: 1) To give undergraduate women the resources, motivation, and confidence to apply to graduate school and to successfully complete a Ph.D. in physics or a related discipline; and 2) To increase awareness by undergraduate women in physics of the wide range of career opportunities available to them. Regional conferences are held simultaneously to maximize student attendance by minimizing travel, to increase the excitement of the participants in a joint national venture, and to allow the interactive simulcast of a keynote address. The conference goals are achieved by providing a series of inspiring talks by female physicists, panel discussions on graduate school and physics careers, student presentation sessions, and ample opportunity for networking and informal mentoring. The success of these goals will be measured by surveys given to students before and after the conferences, as well as by longitudinal studies following the student's post-graduation paths and comparing them with female student cohorts who did not attend the conferences.

该奖项为第七届物理学女本科生年会提供资金，并收集和分析这些会议对物理学女本科生影响的数据。六场区域会议将于 2012 年 1 月 13 日至 15 日在斯坦福大学、华盛顿大学、德克萨斯农工大学、耶鲁大学、田纳西大学和凯斯西储大学同时举行。数据分析将集中在印第安纳大学。会议有两个总体目标：1) 为本科女性提供申请研究生院并成功完成博士学位的资源、动力和信心。物理学或相关学科； 2) 提高物理学专业女本科生对她们可以获得的广泛职业机会的认识。区域会议同时举行，以最大限度地减少旅行，最大限度地提高学生出席率，提高全国合资企业参与者的兴奋度，并允许交互式同步直播主题演讲。会议目标是通过由女性物理学家提供一系列鼓舞人心的演讲、关于研究生院和物理学职业的小组讨论、学生演讲会以及充足的交流和非正式指导的机会来实现的。这些目标的成功与否将通过会议前后对学生进行的调查以及跟踪学生毕业后路径的纵向研究并将其与未参加会议的女学生群体进行比较来衡量。
