Non-Technical DescriptionThis award to the Associated Universities Inc/National Radio Astronomy Observatory supports the participation of 45 undergraduate and graduate students and postdocs to the Fall Workshop of the National Society of Black Physicists: Skills and Professional Development Strategies for Minority Physicists. The Workshop will be held in Batavia, Illinois on October 27-30, 2016. The Workshop is supported by the Department of Energy and it will target 300 participants and offer clinic-style and practical training sessions related to applications, interviewing, developing research statements, obtaining letters and other career related topics. A specific forum will address the needs of junior faculty at HBCUs. Because the HBCU Physics Department Chairs meeting will also be held during the Fall Workshop, there will be a unique opportunity for a chair-junior faculty conversation regarding professional development opportunities. This provides a unique opportunity for students to interact with faculty at all levels. In addition, data will be collected on how such meetings and professional membership organizations can influence broader participation and workforce capacity among under-represented minorities in STEM, especially African American physicists. This will have help with planning future workshops for broadening participation. The award is supported by four Divisions, and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorates for Mathematical Sciences, and the HBCU-UP program in the Directorate of Education and Human Resources.

非技术描述这个奖项给联合大学公司/国家射电天文台支持45名本科生和研究生和博士后参加全国黑人物理学家协会秋季研讨会：少数民族物理学家的技能和专业发展战略。研讨会将于2016年10月27日至30日在伊利诺伊州巴达维亚举行。该讲习班得到能源部的支持，将有300名参加者参加，并提供与申请、面试、编写研究报告、获取信函和其他职业相关主题有关的诊所式和实践培训课程。一个专门的论坛将解决HBCU初级教师的需求。由于HBCU物理系主任会议也将在秋季研讨会期间举行，将有一个关于专业发展机会的椅子初级教师对话的独特机会。这为学生提供了一个与各级教师互动的独特机会。此外，还将收集有关此类会议和专业会员组织如何影响STEM中代表性不足的少数群体，特别是非裔美国物理学家的更广泛参与和劳动力能力的数据。这将有助于规划未来的讲习班，以扩大参与。 该奖项由四个部门，以及数学科学局的多学科活动办公室，以及教育和人力资源局的HBCU-UP计划支持。
