Empowering Diverse Voices to Communicate Science

该奖项支持将于2021年7月举行的第七届妇女物理学国际会议（ICWIP）。会议的目的有三个方面：(i)提供一个机会，分析各国在促进妇女从事物理学工作方面的现状和进展；（二）为物理学领域的女性提供一个分享她们的科学成就和建立国际科学合作的舞台；（三）在每个参与国进行能力建设，设计和实施改善妇女在物理学领域参与和进步的变革。作为这次会议的成果，美国代表团将创建一个虚拟研讨会，重点关注如何有效地传播科学。讲习班将提供给ICWIP的参与者，讲习班结束后，ICWIP的几名成员将拍摄一段简短的、引人入胜的视频，供广大观众观看。国际妇女会议结束后，讲习班将广泛散发，并打算在各次会议和社会会议上提供。这一系列关于女性物理学的国际会议被证明是一个有效的机制，可以在国际上分享最佳实践，授权美国的新方法和行动，在研究中建立网络，增加女性在该领域的数量，进步和保留。美国代表团成员了解并利用其他50-70个国家试点的成功举措。美国代表团将通过其多样性来扩大参与：性别、种族/民族、残疾状况、研究专业（物理学及其他领域）、职业阶段和道路、就业部门、机构类型和地理位置。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。

This award supports the seventh International Conference on Women in Physics (ICWIP), to be held in July 2021. The purpose of the conference is three-fold: (i) to provide an opportunity to analyze the current status of and progress in promoting women in physics in each country; (ii) to provide an arena for women in physics to share their scientific accomplishments and create international scientific collaborations; and (iii) to build capacity in each participating country to design and implement changes that improve the participation and advancement of women in physics. The US delegation will create a virtual workshop focused on effectively communicating science as a result of this conference. This workshop will be given to ICWIP participants, and following the workshop, several ICWIP members will be filmed doing a short, engaging video for a broad audience. After the ICWIP has concluded, the workshop will be disseminated widely and is intended to be offered at conferences and society meetings.This series of international conferences on women in physics is proving to be an effective mechanism for sharing best practices internationally, empowering new approaches and actions in the U.S., nucleating networking in research, and increasing the numbers, advancement and retention of women in the field. Members of the U.S. Delegation learn about and take advantage of successful initiatives piloted in ~ 50-70 other countries. The U.S. delegation will broaden participation through its diversity: in gender, race/ethnicity, disability status, research specialty (in physics and beyond), career phase and path, employment sector institution type, and geographic location.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.
