Support for Physics at the Annual Conference of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) Sept. 30-Oct. 3, 2010 in Annaheim, CA

该奖项资助本科生、研究生和全国拉美裔物理学家协会(NSHP)的两名成员参加奇卡诺人和美洲原住民科学促进会(SACNAS)的年度会议。SACNAS成立于30多年前，其具体使命是鼓励奇卡诺/拉丁裔和美洲原住民学生攻读研究生学位，并获得从事研究工作和教授各级科学专业所需的高级学位。会议将于9月9日在加利福尼亚州安纳海姆举行。30至2010年10月3日。NSHP在SACNAS上组织了三个会议：“核物理和粒子物理的前沿”、“探索宇宙”和“天文学和天体物理学：未来十年”。NSHP在每次SACNAS会议上组织的课程面向物理和天文学本科生，目的是：1)向学生介绍一些最有趣的研究领域；2)让学生向主持人询问他们的研究；3)向学生介绍他们所在领域的成功少数群体；4)让学生向主持人或其他专业人员询问何时何地申请研究生院。该奖项由数学和物理科学局的物理司和天文科学司资助。

This award supports travel of undergraduate students, graduate students, and two members of the National Society of Hispanic Physicists (NSHP) to the Annual Conference of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS). SACNAS was established over 30 years ago with the specific mission of encouraging Chicano/Latino and Native American students to pursue graduate degrees and obtain the advanced degrees necessary to have research careers and to teach the science professions at all levels. The conference will be held in Annaheim, CA, Sept. 30 through Oct. 3, 2010. NSHP is organizing three sessions at SACNAS: "The Frontier of Nuclear and Particle Physics"; "Exploring the Universe", and "Astronomy and Astrophysics: The Next Ten Years". The sessions organized by NSHP at each SACNAS meeting are meant for undergraduate students in physics and astronomy and are meant to serve as: 1) a way of introducing the students to some of the most interesting areas of research; 2) a way for students to ask the presenters about their research; 3) a way of introducing the students to successful minorities in their field; 4) a way for students to ask the presenters or other professionals when and where to apply for graduate schools. This award is funded by the Division of Physics and the Division of Astronomical Sciences in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
