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.

该奖项授予美国物理学会，用于支持自 2006 年以来每年举办的物理学本科女性会议 (CUWiP)。该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，通过尽量减少旅行来最大限度地提高学生出席率，增加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。该项目着眼于评估参与者的自我效能信念、物理认同和结果期望。 通过这项研究和项目评估，有可能获得有关物理学本科女性面临的问题以及此类活动的有效性的新知识。该项目将增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，并对物理学领域仍然代表性不足的人群产生积极影响。
