International Benchmarking and Conference on Women in Physics

国际理论和应用物理学联合会(IUPAP)物理学领域妇女工作组正在开展一项国际基准工作，以了解国际上与物理学领域妇女有关的地位和趋势，并将于2002年3月在法国巴黎举办一次物理学领域妇女问题国际会议。来自国家科学基金会的资金将支持部分基准工作、其结果的分析和发布、美国物理学家--特别是学生和职业生涯早期物理学家--参加会议、会议记录和行动计划的出版和传播，以及一些后续行动。这些NSF基金将得到来自其他联邦机构、科学组织、国际来源和行业的其他赠款和实物捐助的补充。从本质上讲，同样的提案正被提交给美国能源部(DOE)和美国国家航空航天局(NASA)，它们的预算请求是互补的，但并不重叠。美国国家科学院已经承诺提供25K美元的总体、无限制的支持，美国国家标准与技术研究所(NIST)承诺提供10K美元。

The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) Working Group on Women in Physics is undertaking an international benchmarking effort to learn about the status and trends relating to women in physics internationally and it is organizing an International Conference on Women in Physics to be held in Paris, France in March 2002. Funds from the National Science Foundation will support part of the benchmarking effort, the analysis and publication of its results, the participation of US physicists - especially students and early-career physicists - in the conference, the publication and dissemination of the conference proceedings and action plan, and some follow up. These NSF funds will be supplemented by other grants and in-kind contributions from other Federal agencies, scientific organizations, international sources, and industry. Essentially this same proposal is being sent to the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), with complementary but not overlapping budget requests. The National Academy of Sciences has already committed to provide $25K in general, unrestricted support, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has committed $10K.
