Annual Conference of the National Society of Black Physicists

非技术：随着美国变得越来越多样化，每个科学领域变得更加多样化变得越来越重要。广义上讲，物理学不仅在目前的多样性水平上落后于其他学术领域，而且是科学或工程学科中多样性最少的学科之一。该奖项将资助246名学生参加2014-2015财政年度的全国黑人物理学家协会（NSBP）年会，会议地点待定。这次会议的主要目标是增加少数族裔学生（非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和印第安人）获得物理学学位的人数，并为物理学家在其职业生涯的各个阶段提供指导。该奖项授予联合大学公司（AUI），该公司提供其专业知识和人员来管理赠款，并与NSBP合作组织会议，NSBP带来了主持过去会议的公认经验。NSBP年会是一个科学会议，为讨论前沿科学，传播新成果，激发学生，博士后研究员和教师之间的思想交流提供了机会。通过包括学生、教师、专业人员和招聘人员在内的会议讨论和研讨会，有可能了解更多关于少数民族物理学家的观点和愿望。这些见解对那些致力于增加物理学多样性的人很有价值。讲座和海报的摘要接受来自广泛的物理子领域，包括凝聚态物质，核，天体物理学和其他。NSBP会议有一个开放的抽象过程，就像任何其他会议一样，有邀请和全体发言人，以及出版的会议记录。技术：随着美国变得越来越多样化，每个科学领域变得更加多样化变得越来越重要。广义上讲，物理学不仅在目前的多样性水平上落后于其他学术领域，而且是科学或工程学科中多样性最少的学科之一。该奖项资助246名学生参加2014-2015财政年度的美国黑人物理学家协会（NSBP）年会。这次会议的主要目标是增加少数族裔学生（非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和印第安人）获得物理学学位的人数，并为物理学家在其职业生涯的各个阶段提供指导。该奖项授予联合大学公司（AUI），该公司提供其专业知识和人员来管理赠款，并与NSBP合作组织会议，NSBP带来了主持过去会议的公认经验。NSBP年会是一个科学会议，为讨论前沿科学，传播新成果，激发学生，博士后研究员和教师之间的思想交流提供了机会。通过包括学生、教师、专业人员和招聘人员在内的会议讨论和研讨会，有可能了解更多关于少数民族物理学家的观点和愿望。这些见解对那些致力于增加物理学多样性的人很有价值。讲座和海报的摘要接受来自广泛的物理子领域，包括凝聚态物质，核，天体物理学和其他。NSBP会议有一个开放的抽象过程，就像任何其他会议一样，有邀请和全体发言人，以及出版的会议记录。

Non-Technical:As the US becomes ever more diverse, it becomes increasingly important that each field of science becomes more diverse. Physics, broadly defined, not only lags behind other academic fields in its present level of diversity, but ranks among the least diverse of the scientific or engineering disciplines. This award provides support for 246 students to attend the Annual Conference of the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) in the 2014-2015 fiscal years at a location to be determined. The principal goal of this meeting is to increase the number of minority students (African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans) that receive degrees in physics and to provide mentoring for physicists at all stages of their careers. The award is to the Associated Universities Inc. (AUI) which provides its expertise and staff to manage the grant and work with the NSBP in organizing the meeting and the NSBP brings recognized experience of hosting past conferences. The NSBP Annual Conference is a scientific meeting that serves as an opportunity to discuss cutting-edge science, to disseminate new results, and to spark the exchange of ideas among students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty. Through Conference discussions and seminars that include students, faculty, professionals, and recruiters, it is possible to learn more about the views and desires of minority physicists. These insights are valuable to those who are working to increasing diversity in physics. Abstracts for talks and posters are accepted from a wide range of physics sub-fields including condensed matter, nuclear, astrophysics and others. The NSBP Conference has an open abstract process for contributed talks just like any other conference with invited and plenary speakers, as well as published proceedings.
