This award will provide partial participant support for US junior scientists and members of under-represented minorities to participate in the 2015 Conference on Science at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) to be held on May 18-20, 2015 on the campus at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology in Rapid City, South Dakota. The conference will address the science that can be carried out at SURF: Neutrino Physics, Proton Decay, Nuclear Astrophysics, Dark Matter, Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay, Materials Science for Nuclear and Particle Physics, Geology, and Astrobiology and Life in Extreme Environments. For Broader Impacts, the conference has a particular focus on junior scientists as well as scientists who are members of groups underrepresented in science and engineering (e.g., underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities). The PI is also working to encourage the participation of Native American students, scientists, and engineers in the conference. This conference is important in the education of young scientists not only because of the presentations they listen to, but also because during the meeting they directly communicate with the more experienced scientists who are in attendance.

该奖项将为美国初级科学家和代表不足的少数族裔成员提供部分参与者支持，以参加2015年在桑福德地下研究设施(SURF)举行的2015年科学大会，会议将于2015年5月18日至20日在南达科他州拉皮特城的南达科他州矿业与技术学院校园举行。会议将讨论可在SURF上进行的科学：中微子物理、质子衰变、核天体物理、暗物质、无中微子双贝塔衰变、核子和粒子物理材料科学、地质学、天体生物学和极端环境中的生命。对于更广泛的影响，会议特别关注初级科学家以及在科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体的科学家(例如，代表性不足的少数群体、妇女和残疾人)。国际和平协会还致力于鼓励美洲原住民学生、科学家和工程师参加会议。这次会议对年轻科学家的教育非常重要，不仅因为他们听取了演讲，还因为在会议期间，他们直接与与会的更有经验的科学家进行交流。
