This award provides funding for the 8th annual Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics and for a formative assessment of the effectiveness of the conferences in meeting their goals. The next conferences will take place on January 18-20, 2013, simultaneously at Caltech, Colorado School of Mines, Cornell University, the University of Central Florida, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Texas.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 students' post-graduation paths and comparing them with female student cohorts who did not attend the conferences.

该奖项为第八届物理学女本科生年度会议提供资金，并对会议实现其目标的有效性进行形成性评估。下一次会议将于 2013 年 1 月 18 日至 20 日在加州理工学院、科罗拉多矿业学院、康奈尔大学、中佛罗里达大学、伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校和德克萨斯大学同时举行。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。
