Empowering Diverse Voices to Communicate Science

该奖项支持将于2021年7月举行的第七届国际物理学妇女大会(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参与物理学方面的现状和进展；(Ii)为物理学领域的妇女提供一个交流科学成就和开展国际科学合作的场所；(Iii)在每个参与国建设能力，以设计和实施提高妇女在物理学领域的参与和进步的变革。作为这次会议的结果，美国代表团将创建一个专注于有效传播科学的虚拟研讨会。该讲习班将提供给妇女权利中心的参与者，讲习班结束后，将拍摄几名妇女权利中心成员为广大观众制作一段简短、引人入胜的视频。在ICWIP结束后，研讨会将被广泛传播，并计划在会议和社会会议上提供。事实证明，这一系列关于物理学中的女性的国际会议是一个有效的机制，可以在国际上分享最佳实践，在美国授权新的方法和行动，在研究中建立网络，并增加该领域女性的数量、晋升和保留。美国代表团成员了解并利用在其他约50-70个国家试行的成功计划。美国代表团将通过其多样性扩大参与范围：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NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
