项目摘要

This award to the American Physical Society supports the continued growth and improvement of the Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP), held annually since 2006. The goals of the CUWiP effort are to increase retention and improve career outcomes of undergraduate women in physics by (i) communicating the breadth of education and career paths open to physics majors; (ii) disseminating information and advice on applying for summer research, graduate school and professional employment; and (iii) providing opportunities to share experiences, advice and ideas with women at different stages of their education or career paths. The CUWiP goals will be achieved by providing (i) inspiring talks by female physicists, (ii) workshops and panel discussions on summer research, graduate school, physics careers, professional development, and issues facing minority women in physics, (iii) student presentations or poster sessions, and (iv) opportunities for networking and informal mentoring.CUWiP aims to broaden the participation of women in physics by providing information, resources, networks and motivation to pursue advanced degrees and/or careers in physics. The broad geographic distribution of the conferences maximizes access to the conferences and facilitates recruitment of students from underrepresented minority groups and from local community colleges. Local conference organization provides opportunities for students and postdocs to engage directly in broadening participation in science. The proposed activities will enable the organizers to probe how these conferences facilitate networking and improve participants’ attitudes concerning self-efficacy and identity as physicists. The results of the proposed annual assessments will be used to improve the effectiveness of the conferences.This project is supported jointly by two divisions of NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate: the Division of Physics and the Division of Materials ResearchThis 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.

这一奖项授予美国物理学会，以支持自2006年以来每年举行的本科生物理女性会议(CUWiP)的持续发展和改进。该计划的目标是通过(I)宣传物理学专业的教育和职业道路的广度；(Ii)传播有关申请暑期研究、研究生院和专业工作的信息和建议；以及(Iii)提供机会与处于教育或职业道路不同阶段的女性分享经验、建议和想法，从而提高物理学专业本科生的留校率和职业成就。将通过提供(I)女性物理学家的鼓舞人心的演讲，(Ii)关于暑期研究、研究生院、物理职业、专业发展和少数族裔妇女在物理学中面临的问题的讲习班和小组讨论，(Iii)学生陈述或海报会议，以及(Iv)联网和非正式指导的机会来实现CUWiP的目标。CUWiP旨在通过提供信息、资源、网络和追求物理学高级学位和/或职业的动机来扩大妇女对物理学的参与。会议的广泛地理分布最大限度地扩大了参加会议的机会，并便利了从代表性不足的少数群体和当地社区大学招收学生。当地的会议组织为学生和博士后提供了直接参与扩大科学参与度的机会。拟议的活动将使组织者能够探索这些会议如何促进网络联系，并改善参与者对自我效能和物理学家身份的态度。建议的年度评估结果将用于提高会议的有效性。该项目由NSF数学和物理科学局的两个部门联合支持：物理部和材料研究部。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
