This award to the American Physical Society supports the Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP), held annually since 2006. 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 project looks to evaluate self-efficacy beliefs, physics identity and outcome expectations of the participants. Through this research and the project evaluation, there is potential to gain new knowledge about the issues facing undergraduate women in physics, as well as how effective activities like these are. The project will advance our understanding of factors that impact the ability of female students to pursue undergraduate degrees in physics and have a positive impact on a population that remains underrepresented in physics.

这个奖项给美国物理学会支持会议本科妇女在物理（CUWiP），自2006年以来每年举行一次。会议有两个首要目标：1）给本科女性的资源，动机和信心，申请研究生院，并成功完成博士学位。2）提高物理学专业女大学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，以最大限度地提高学生的出勤率，最大限度地减少旅行，以增加参与者的兴奋在一个合资的国家企业，并允许一个主题演讲的互动联播。该项目期待评估自我效能的信念，物理身份和结果的期望的参与者。 通过这项研究和项目评估，有可能获得关于物理学本科女生面临的问题的新知识，以及这些活动的有效性。该项目将促进我们对影响女学生攻读物理学本科学位能力的因素的理解，并对物理学代表性不足的人口产生积极影响。
