Though many physicists are engaged in outreach, the variety of activities in which they are engaged is surprisingly small. For those venturing beyond the standard public lectures and science cafes there is currently nowhere to disseminate the knowledge they gain from both the successful and failed public outreach attempts. This project will fund highly innovative outreach activities and their successes and failures will add significantly to the body of outreach knowledge. The associated Outreach Guide will disseminate these best practices to others interested in beginning their own programs.The goal of the American Physical Society Outreach Program is to enable innovative outreach projects that aim to bring physics to the public outside of the classroom. These projects will not only directly affect the target audience of such projects, but will also affect the climate surrounding public outreach and engagement. Despite the benefits of public outreach there are many obstacles in the way of those interested in starting such programs. The program will help scientists surmount these barriers.

尽管许多物理学家从事外展工作，但他们从事的活动种类却少得惊人。对于那些冒险超越标准的公共讲座和科学咖啡馆，目前没有地方传播他们从成功和失败的公共宣传尝试中获得的知识。该项目将资助高度创新的外联活动，其成功和失败将大大增加外联知识。相关的推广指南将传播这些最佳实践给有兴趣开始自己的计划的其他人。美国物理学会推广计划的目标是实现创新的推广项目，旨在将物理学带到课堂之外的公众。这些项目不仅将直接影响这些项目的目标受众，而且还将影响公众外联和参与的氛围。尽管公众宣传有好处，但在那些有兴趣开始这类方案的人面前存在许多障碍。该计划将帮助科学家克服这些障碍。
