2018 NSBP Annual Conference

2018年全国黑人物理学家学会会议是一次专业科学会议和学生发展会议的结合。NSBP会议向所有人开放，为300多名本科生和研究生提供了参加研究研讨会、研究报告和建立物理各个子领域专业关系的机会。除了参加研讨会和分享他们的研究之外，参与者还将获得具体的学术和职业建议以及坚持今天物理领域的策略。NSBP会议为技术领域的妇女和代表性不足的少数民族提供支持；它是美国最知名的年度扩大参与STEM活动之一。本次会议由数学和物理科学理事会、地球科学理事会以及教育和人力资源理事会提供支助。美国国家黑人物理学家协会（NSBP）和联合大学公司（AUI）将合作举办2018年美国黑人物理学家协会年会。该会议既是一个专业的科学会议，也是一个学生发展活动，其主要目标是增加未被充分代表的少数民族参与物理学术管道的数量，以及更广泛的美国STEM劳动力管道。基于这样一种认识，即一个领域中经验丰富的成员和早期职业工作者之间的社会化可以增加年轻人发展职业身份和成功技能的机会，会议旨在促进非裔美国人参与物理科学。专业科学会议对扩大代表性不足的少数群体参与的结果的影响是会议特别关心的问题。会议独特的参会者将促进学生-专业导师配对的发展。拟议项目的外部评价将通过将数据收集方法纳入会议通讯和计划的活动，为纵向数据收集提供框架。外部评价将侧重于根据会议实现与更广泛的影响和知识价值标准有关的目标的能力来判断会议的价值。获奖作品的智力价值在于识别与有形和无形互动相关的特征和实践，这些特征和实践可能有助于物理urm的职业认同形成、劳动力发展和职业成功。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

PART 1The 2018 Conference of the National Society of Black Physicists is a combined professional scientific meeting and a student development conference. Open to all, the NSBP conference provides more than 300 undergraduate and graduate students opportunities to participate in research seminars, research presentations and professional relationship building across various subfields of physics. In addition to participating in seminars and sharing their research, participants are provided specific academic and career advising and strategies for persisting in the field of physics today. The NSBP conference offers support for women and under-represented minorities in technical fields; it is one of America's most recognizable annual broadening participation STEM events. Support for the conference is provided by the Directorate for the Mathematical and Physical Sciences, the Directorate of Geosciences, and the Directorate of Educational and Human Resources. PART 2The National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) and the Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI) are collaborating to present the 2018 Annual Conference of the NSBP. The conference is both a professional scientific meeting and a student development event whose main goal is to increase the numbers of under-represented minorities involved in the physics academic pipeline, as well as the broader US STEM workforce pipeline. Based on the understanding that socialization among seasoned members of a field and early career workers increases the chances for younger persons to develop career identities and success skills, the meeting aims to promote the participation of African Americans in the physical sciences. The influence of professional scientific meetings on the outcomes of broadening participation of underrepresented minorities is of particular interest at the conference. The conference's unique attendee pool will facilitate the development of student-professional mentor pairings. An external evaluation of the proposed project will provide the framework for longitudinal data collection by integrating data collection methods into the conference communications and planned activities. An external evaluation will focus on judging the value of the conference in terms of its ability to achieve the goals related to both broader impacts and intellectual merit criteria. The intellectual merit of the awarded work rests in discerning features and practices that are relevant to interactions, both tangible and intangible, that may contribute to career identity formation, workforce development and career success in URMs in physics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
